I saw a post about restoring some antique tuning machines and got to thinking.
For those tuners that have gotten sloppy over the years, with the gears worn away from a tight mesh, they might be nickel plated to add just enough metal back on to get them tight again.
It would have to be a balancing act to add just enough, but not too much, nickel. But certainly something to consider for some future rehab.
