Default Replacement tuners for a Washburn guitar?

These tuners are just cheap and no-name. Any idea of a good replacement that would be a direct replacement with the same screw holes?HD80S-DSC05267.jpg

Default A thought

Find tuner specifications online and compare them to the one tuner removed and measured. My SWAG is that Ping/Grover tuners could substitute, but no telling if a guitar manufacturer used something unique. OP's about the only person to confirm the dimensions of the existing tuners.

If the locating screw holes line up I think these Gotoh's would make a fine swap.

I ordered some Gotoh 510s. If they need new holes, so be it.
