Default Changing tuners on a '34 Gibson???

Is this a sin?

The attached pic is my late 1934 L-4, and there is a close up of the tuners.

I bought it from Archtop.com, who had filed the frets down to nothing so I've already "meddled" with it by having it refretted...beautifully I might add.

The original tuners are verrrry worn and seem to have a pretty much 1:1 gearing.

I'm thinking of the Stewmac "Golden Age Restoration Guitar Tuners 3+3" although they only seem to come with plastic buttons.

Any thoughts?
