Yellow Parts tuners , any ideas?

[LeFinPepere]

I am looking for replacement tuners for a Dearmond M75. The only ones I could find are the "Yellow Parts" EZ17802c, since it looks like there's no drilling involved, they have the 2 prongs that might fit the guitar.BUT I can't find any detailed specs, measurements and so on .If I google "yellow parts" I get no info .Where from?Who makes the stuff and where? Quality? Thanks for the help!

Pictures always talk, so that is how the DeArmond tuners looked like:



The "HC" logo tells you who made them:



They were made by Hanchang in Korea.

Ibanez RG & S series guitars and many others from Cort used the same tuners.

Here is a 2018 brochure with all specs: (the download is safe)

Vielen Dank, SFIV1967!!! very valuable info...Their sg218 seems ok.Impressive brochure!! Then again, WHO are the "yellow parts" C° ? Something like Allparts for Europe or what?

The prongs were a rather ingenious way to keep the tuners from turning, alignment is a snap as well.

Schaller did that for G&L's tuners and Sperzel does it as well.

A dowel and hole is cheaper than a screw ;]

I have no idea, had never seen this "Yellow Parts" brand before. Seems to be more in Northern and Western Europe.
@Walter Broes might know who the company behind "Yellow Parts" is as the store he works also has them.

Sorry if you don't, but it came up in a Google search !

But back to LeFinPepere. Just as an example, here are some other "Yellow Parts" tuners and those are made in Korea. Other parts like those bridge pins show "Made in China",



Whoever is behind the "YELLOW PARTS" brand also has the "YELLOW CABLE" brand:

Ah, yes, those.

Sorry. Well, we keep those parts in stock for people who come in with very cheap (usually) acoustic guitars. Guitars in the 200 euro price range can be great learning tools, campfire guitars holiday beaters or what have you, but it doesn't make much sense to spend a lot on fancy tuners if one breaks, and owners usually feel that way too. So that is why we stock them. I wouldn't recommend them for a guitar that you love, use every day, ot otherwise really care for.

Yep, thanks for the info..1 of the tuners on my Dea M75 is weak in the knees...I have 3 MIK guitars, they are fine, imo...Nobody except Yellow Parts seems to sell "dual-pin" tuners for a reasonable price. I think I'll give them a try , since they are not expensive, and I'd avoid drilling .

OK, hold the wedding, don't order anything! I wasn't sure, but it turns out I still have a full set of working and barely used tuners off of a DeArmond guitar I owned and modded. You're in Orleans, France, I take it? Send me your adress, neighbour, and they're yours!
