6 inline kluson type tuners... which set?

Gents
I'm looking to buy a set of vintage style 6 inline Kluson tuners.
I know Gotoh, Callaham and TonePros make them.

Who makes the best set?
They all look the same... all 15:1 ratio...
I do remember some of you were not happy with TonePros version.

Calla and ToneP dont make tuners.  They, at best, modify, whats out there already when it comes to tuners.  I'd expect the ToneP to be Gotoh considering prior collaboration.  Calla.. maybe Ping, maybe Gotoh.

Gotoh are great tuners, and you can get them inexpensively in Fender packaging on ebay (and other places)

Thanks for the info, CB.
So there are no difference in features or performance, huh?!

Didn't say that - I said that they dont acutally make them.  They could sort them, and reject some.  Or they could tweak 'em.  Or give them shots of mojo grease or owl snot or fairy dust.

If you want some Gotoh's get some Fender ones.  They been selling those for as low as $19 a set on ebay, in the sealed Fender "Mr Gearhead" packaging - with extra screws (hmmm).

The new Tone Pros are great reproductions of both the early 6 in a row no line, single line and double line Kluson.  The others are great but the Tone Pro Kluson has the correct stamping and they work excellent.   Here is a link.   http://www.wdmusic.com/shop_by_category_tuning_machines_kluson_6_in_line.html
