I just bought one. Man, great old guitar and in fine condition. Will need some work, but I'm happy. I'd like to see the original tuners. Tuners shown here are not original.

Willy, you're right but the guitar hung with strings has original tuners (click the thumbnail to enlarge). These were the "tune-rite" models as they called them at Harmony's. Not an easy find today.
