Maybe dealers still have the Stealth in stock.
According to Gotoh's website, they are discontinued. https://g-gotoh.com/product/st31/?lang=en Maybe they have come up with a new "lightweight" design. I didn't look around to find out. |

Thanks for the mention of those. I have that same tuner on a custom build LfdM super tenor ukulele. They are certainly light but not the most robust machine, as would be expected of something that tiny and light.

There are these...Gotoh “Carbon-O-Lite” @ 17.5 g ea. The OP might save a bit more weight by replacing the button with the 3D printed ones he made if they’re even lighter.

The carbon Gotoh do look nice.
But I don't think it's possible to use it on the OF660 though. Length of the carbon plate is 34mm. The OF660 head is simply too tiny unless maybe the plates were angled--or--maybe extreme outside the box thinking and redrilling entirely new peg holes somewhere. I wouldn't know where to begin. |

Leaving just the upper and lower ends untouched, it could end up looking like a custom install, which is exactly what it'd be.

I like how you are thinking guys. I will definitely look into those carbon Gotohs. As you can tell from this thread, I don't mind having to di a bit of customising.

Actually, the top and bottom “scrolls” could be removed with enough room remaining bottom-left or right corner to drill a new hole. Just like other Gotohs and modern tuners, with the post providing anchor, only one screw is needed. So a little CF and one screw removed, even more weight taken off.
