Robson Tuners?

[Koda]

Are Robson Tuners still available? I'm looking for a direct replacement for waverlys.

[Osage]

I don't believe so. Last year I needed to replace one on a guitar and couldn't find any for sale. They have a Facebook page that hasn't been updated since 2019. I wrote to them but never heard back.

OK Thanks.

I’m trying to hunt down some info on them as well. Anyone know if Gotoh open backs (or similar) are direct replacements?

You might find something helpful in this thread or this thread.

I don't think Robson Tuners or Robson Guitars exists any more, although a business called C9 or Cloud 9 does, making electric guitars.

Thanks, I’ll scan those. I’m familiar with other open backs. I’m assuming Gotohs, etc. will line up.

Interesting. My Angelus came with Robson machines and two of the little tips popped off this week. Looks like they’re glued on, but I was hoping to find some more info. I’ve had a similar set in the past where those tips screwed in but these look different.

I may pull and replace these, putting the Robsons to the side, although they are fantastic tuners. I just don’t want to risk those tips popping off at a show or getting sucked up by the vacuum cleaner at home, ha!
