1-1/4" Tuning Machine posts
I have what I believe to be a Harmony acoustic guitar which I purchased used in 1970 for very little $. It has no markings or stickers anywhere inside or out. It has always had nylon strings. I have used this guitar as a practice instrument. Recently, one of the tuning machines broke. Those machines are two (2) metal plates (stamped Japan on the back - facing the wood) screwed to the back of the tuning head with eight small screws each. Each has three (2) string posts which go vertically through the wooden head with a grommet on the front covering the holes. My problem is the three string posts are 1-1/4" on center, NOT the modern "standard" of 1-3/8." I have searched the internet for weeks, looking and searching for replacements either new or used. I can find nothing. Re-drilling is not an option. Can anyone offer any guidance or direction? Six individual machines were recommended by a local music shop based on their belief that the guitar was so cheap and is so old. I'd rather find correct replacements.
I have other instruments, so I am not without working guitar(s), but this was my first guitar when I began learning. It is more emotion than sound quality here.

How is the tuner broken? It may be possible to repair it.
