Yamaha tuners circa 1980
Hi,
I have two sets of older Yamaha tuners, I want to put one of them on my 1978 Yamaha FG335, a plywood closet queen. The one on the left is a sealed tuner that seems smoother like maybe a Grover, but can never be fixed I don't think. It has the washer and screw mount that goes through the head stock. The one on the right just has a cap and screw to cover the gears, and you can replace parts on that but seems a lower quality. It just has a plain sleeve the post mounts through in the hole on the head stock; I didn't drive that out for the photo. They both have "Yamaha Japan" stamped on the back, but weakly stamped on the right tuner's cover. Which would you choose...or is it six of one...  Thanks!

I would choose the sealed one. In my experience, failure of most any sealed tuner is extremely rare.
