George...

Thanks for the response. Looks like those buttons are gonna were perfect not only for my LG1 but i just got back my 1920s oscar schmidt, and coincidentally looks like it's gonna need some updates to the tuning machines. I just say, i love these old vintage guitars. They just sound so unique for recordings.

Thanks for responding Dave, and pointing me in the right direction. I didn't even think you could just replace the buttons. Which would be nice. The actual tuners themselves work great considering they are 60 some odd years old.

So, i know I'm probably the one millionth guy to ask, but any help would be appreciated. There is no FON number and a 4022 4 is printed inside with no preceding or following letter. I've heard a lot of people knocking these guitars, and though I've never played an LG 2 or 3 or J45, I think this thing sounds beautiful, so wondering if it's an older LG and maybe the quality lessened a little over the years. Also, sadly one of the tuning machines broke tonight while i was turning it. It was the plastic part and it seemed pretty brittle to begin with. Looking for any pointers on replacing them. I don't plan on ever selling this perfect little guitar, but i don't want to replace it with something that is going to cheapen or take away from it's vintage feel. If it was yours, would you try to find an original part to replace it, or do most guys upgrade the tuning machines if they are brittle, and if so, what's a good recommendation. Thanks for reading my long post.
