Why do these things always happen on Sundays when the shop's closed?

Thanks, everyone, for the help!

Be sure to get a good replacement. Don't forget to check the screw holes and capstan diameter, if you don't go with the original make.  You don't want old screw holes showing through, nor do you really want to have to ream out the capstan holes unless it's really necessary.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/tuner-implosion-question/#post-51880 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/tuner-implosion-question/#post-51879 Mon, 23 Feb 2004 15:08:25 +0000
Is it unheard of for a tuner to implode like this, or does wear eventually cause them to break down?

My guess is I've got to replace the tuner(s).  Anyone got an idea how expensive that might be?  I won't be able to get it down to the shop until tomorrow after work.  I'm just wondering about a ball park figure.

I might also have some fret wires replaced.  

Am I looking at major repairs here?  Is it time to trade in?

Thanks.
