Yamaha BB435 Replacement Tuning Pegs

Hi All,

I have a Yamaha BB435 and two of the tuning pegs are making a horrible rattling noise at certain frequencies. I have done some searches and it looks like it is a common fault with these lightweight tuners.

I have been looking at what I could use to replace them and have seen that people have used the Schaller BML machine heads (they look the same dimensions except the length of the peg is shorter).

I was wondering if anyone had used these tuners on any of the new BB series basses and even better if anyone had any photos to share.

Thanks! 😊

I've had the rattley tuning machine on two of the current line of Yamaha BBs.  Try a couple of drops of thin superglue where the key meets the shaft (use the thin stuff so it wicks into the gaps).
