I often read posts about people changing out the tuners on vintage instruments. Certainly you need something that works. Old sticky tuners are one of those things that make people hate friction tuners.
There are lots of ways to go. One can try to rehab the old ones and lubricate them, add washers, etc, change to period era tuners or go with something modern.
Some value the playability aspect, while others seem to be concerned with devaluing the instrument or going with something that looks historically correct.
What thoughts do you have about those issues and concerns?
