Prolly on a loser but worth an ask!
early 1980's Yamaha 512 12 string tuners (open headstock) - any chance ?
One of the cogs has stripped and so can't be strung.
Can't find same size tuners anywhere.
I was hoping to find just the cog so I can replace it but happy to purchase full strip or two.
Be grateful for a heads up

Is this a FG-512 or FG-512II?? I have a FG-512. The II version was made 1981 to 1985.

Assuming they both use the same tuners, and assuming Many of Yamaha's tuners use the same gears, I might have something in my boneyard. I'll have to look tomorrow.

Is this the FG-512 (late 70's) or FG-512II (80's)??

Hope this is what you were after. Ta!~Nico

It's the 77 to 81 FG-512. Could share the serial number for my list?? I can compare the gears on my FG-512 to other tuners and see if I have a good one.

That would be fab - if it's not too much trouble?
I love this guitar - even if my son did gig it a bit ...🙄😁 hence the cog!
It's my son and grandson who will eventually get my guitars - they are much better players than I ever was

I'm sorry!! I forgot!! I've been very busy working on a couple of guitars and I tend to tune out everything else. I will try to take a look tonight. My FG-512 neck is hanging next to my computer! And I have a box of parts somewhere.

The serial number is not very clear on my guitar (image on link) but as far as I can discern it is 00303846 Thanks again! Nico

Send me an email to continue. YamahaVintageFG@gmail.com The first thing I'll want to know is where you are located.
