search for quality tuners
I'm restoring an old Maton arch top, and I swear I saw some decent quality replacement tuners for it
some time ago when I first took it on , but I havent been able to find them since.
I have a set the at I CAN use, that were a whole $6 from China,
but something tells me they may not be the greatest tuners (could be wrong, I dont know)
To me, they are a pretty standard older open back vintage tuner, but all I can find is more 'economy' style,
which is what I already have
Here is the style, if anyone knows of something better, I would really appreciate the help
cheers

If the backing plate has to be a similiar angled style, 2 screw

Or you could check out Australian Luthier Supplies, Realparts.com.au
Even give Maton a call, they may have an original set laying around.
Out of curiosity what model is it?

The only person I can think of right now who might be able to help is Tony who admins

he's quite a collector of Matons if originality is what the guys after. He maybe of more help.
I'll keep thinking.
