Hi everybody

Recommendations please ??
Many thanks

Measure your existing post spacing and bushing size before making a selection. The folks over on Mandolin Cafe will likely be able to tell you the size needed for your Kentucky km 606. I see from the web that you need F style tuners. Grover, Gotoh, Schaller, Rubner, and Waverly would all be an upgrade.
from the web,
"The Kentucky KM-606 typically uses Saga’s proprietary in-house tuning machines. Saga instruments often feature non-standard post spacings or distinct "worm-over" vs. "worm-under" gear configurations. Before purchasing any replacement, you must measure your mandolin’s post center-to-post center distance to see if it matches the standard 0.906-inch (23.01mm) spacing"
Ah ok .... didnt know that about saga instruments ... thanks for the heads up !
I'll get some measurements ... I am a bit 'woodwork shy' so i might just get a grown up to do it hahaha
thanks :)
Kind regards to New Zealand.
