Barron Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I am looking for machine heads for a 1972 Antoria EB-3 bass. Any ideas. Does anyone know of the proper name for these types of machine heads. Might help narrow down my search. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswareham Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) If they're anything like the machine heads on my Greco and Avon EB3 copies, then a company called "Ping" do some that look very similar:https://reverb.com/au/item/2577677-ping-p2680-small-covered-bass-2-per-side-tuning-machines Edited December 5, 2017 by chriswareham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The closed-back tuners with cast buttons used on loads of MIJ basses were made by Gotoh - occasionally a NOS boxed set comes up on Ebay. They came in at least 2 different sizes, I had an Antoria 2345B EB copy and mine were the smaller size, so I assume yours will be the same. There are quite a few around because they were so common on 70s & 80s basses - I'd try the various MIJ-related FB groups, starting with The Vintage Japanese Guitar Fanclub - I'd be very surprised if someone there didn't have a spare or two in their parts box.
