Where can I get those "Butterbean" tuners? The kind on the 325c58I have some vintage rics that need them.

You can get Grover Sta-Tites at StewMac.

David, you should remember that if your vintage Ricks originally had single-line or double-line Klusons, the Grover open-backs will need additional holes drilled because the screw patterns are a bit wider than the Klusons.

I don't know if this helps, but....

Also consider John Hall chose Not to use Grovers on the C 58s cause they are inferior to the Gotoh versions.

The new Sta-Tites (as used on the Gretsch Professionals) are well-made and do stay in tune. I'm putting a set on my Capri resto...

Waverly's are awesome!
Bit spendy tho...

Grover makes two different sta-tites.
The butterbean on the 18:1s are different as well as the footprint.
