Acoustic Fender machine heads

    One of the twisty things on the machine head broke so now I can't tune one of the strings. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I've tried all the main shops in Dublin including Musician Inc and Music Maker who are Fender dealers, and they said I'd have to replace the whole machine head, any other suggestions? Here's a pic, note the unusual head

    You can't see the machine heads clearly in that picture at all.

    Have a look at these though I would think you'll have a hard time tracing the part you're after. I think it would be chaper and easier to replace the entire tuning machine.

    They're probably right about replacing the whole tuner, it doesn't seem likely that Fender would issue a small part like that for repairs.

    http://www.stewmac.com is great for replacement parts, though I think they do upgrades more than official Fender stuff. Go a-googling and you should find what you want anyway.
