I am trying to find an old set of Kluson Deluxe
slotted head tuners for a '33 Model 27 round neck Dobro.
Thanks,
Drumm

Stwemac sells a Golden Age replica that is quite exact, except for the size of the buttons. I have a 1935 dobro with those tuners - I am curious if you could measure the size of the buttons on yours? Mine are .5" by .610", while the replicas are .56" by .7".

Try Steve Kovacik, he sells lots of tuners at his website. Tom

I quite literally just came up from the shop where I just re-buttoned the very similar Kluson tuners from a 30's Regal resonator. The only difference is the gears and posts were force fitted into place much like a rivet is rather than screwed into place.
I'm keeping these tuners on the guitar, but Steve Koviak does have a set of the very tuners you are looking for on his site. Set # 121. Don't know the price, though.

Don't know if you're still looking, but I saw this on ebay.
