I am looking for tuning keys for a Stratocaster project. here is what I am looking for:

Sealed, Non-Locking individual tuners, similar to what came on my 1987 Squire, but for 11/32" peg holes

Super-slow ratio

I haven't found anything quite like this while searching online just yet....Thoughts???
 
Those are Fender Vintage style tuners and i love them,both my Teles have that style tuner.

see ya figure out how many extra wraps of string ya like and when ya do you just snip off said string and stick the string in the hole,bend it over the top right and tighten it up.works like a charm
 
I have to have Robert clarify what he means by super slow ratio.

For me my mind might be backwards from what some say would be slow. For me, slow would mean a lower gear ratio.
In other words it takes more twisting of the knobs per twist of the corresponding shaft. SO the string gets to the desired pitch in a slower fashion.

Now some others may say, a higher gear ratio is their definition of slow. In other words, one would need to turn the knob slow to avoid making large adjustments in pitch too quickly.

See what I mean?

and 18:1 ratio. Nice and "slow" like Robert wants.

Yes. The tuners on my Schecter (factory Grovers) are super quick and its easy to miss the mark. Same on my 1987 Stratocaster.

The tuners on my Gibson SG are really slow and its easy to "creep up' on perfect pitch....

Yep!!

Like people ask me what gear I have in my Mustang. I tell them 4.30's and they say, "Man, that's low!" when actually its a high numerical ratio....
 
So, Robert are you looking for 14:1 with more knob turns/slower adjustment, or 16+:1 for fewer turns and faster adjustment?
Did you mean no Screw holes not no "crew" holes?
