These have become known as "Pascoe Tuners"...

you couldn't pay me enough to use the grover tuners ... to me they are ugly and they usually fall apart ...

Many future Grover related projects are planned already.

"to me they are ugly and they usually fall apart ..."

Jeff is right, but that's all part of the charm.

I like the look & feel of the keys, but they are flimsy. If I ever get an extra set I might try to use the keys on a Kluson tuner.

They definitely add a more idiosyncratic air to the
basses.
I love 'em. Once properly lubed and swedged, they're fine.

I have a set NOS sitting in my basement, box and all.
