Greetings, I have a guitar with the 30s Grover 'Sta-Tite tuners with metal buttons. The button spins on the shaft. Normally, on a plastic button, I'd likely flatten the 'wing' of the shaft a bit and re-insert, or just put on a new button.

Has anyone had success repairing the original metal button? ..solder?

Appreciate any help..thx..Tom

If it were mine I would remove the tuner from the guitar and take it apart as far as possible clean both parts then solder it back together.

Re assemble the tuner lube it with a few drops of clock oil and you should be good to go.

Thanks, Daryl .. I actually was messing around with it yesterday, and I simply put the shaft on a vise, and whacked it with a hammer a few times to flatten the tab a bit. Then I pressed the button back on in my vise. Seems tight, and works well.

If it loosens I'll likely go the solder route.
