I've helped my friend rebuild a few sets of Waverly tuners and have the following insights:
On one set, three of those wavy washers were missing.
On another set, they doubled up on the washers on every tuner.
On another set, a couple of the screws that screw into the posts were too long. Not by much, but just enough to notice a very slight wobble in the posts.
On another set, it seemed to be a combination of everything above, in addition to a damaged nylon washer that required the removal/reinstallation of the spanner nut/bushing. That set is now installed on my Froggy.
We don't believe any of those sets were delivered new like this, but it's harder to believe people would mess with these things after the fact.
