I took a chance on these and put them on my Epi SG Jr yesterday.

They supposedly are South Korean OEM but they come from China. They are very similar to the Wilkinson branded locking tuners i have gotten from GFS in the past, good overall quality. These are NOT locking.
The buttons are slightly smaller than other typical ones I have. No opinion either way, just observation.
There were no specs but I confirmed they are 16:1, very smooth and very little slack when changing directions. The the mech. drawing shows a 10mm diameter; the ones I replaced were also. BUT I did have to ream the holes considerably more for fitment.
I have only had them on 1 day but so far very satisfied overall.
Good price point to upgrade budget guitars I dont want to sink top quality money into.
Some times "good enough" is , well good enough.
They are not exactly straight re-using the second set of screw holes, but I'm calling it good.
I had replaced the stock ones with some other $5 ebay ones. They were better than stock but had a lot of slack back and forth when you change directions.
The are very useable, but I wanted a little better for this guitar. And the pearloid buttons are purdy.
These new Jen Ho ones are MUCH better.
I'm down with my HOs!
