I got some from my local store, Saga brand economy tuners. I like them but he is all out and they are on order. Were do you folks get them cheap enough to buy a few extra? By the way I already checked out E bay and the cheap ones come from Hong Kong and the rest charge way to much shipping. Thanks!
I also found some at Elderly Music, has anyone bought from them?

It took till page 3 because Gitty did not have them when the post was started, this is an old thread. I also support Gitty, good products fast service, great prices.

Don't know why it took until the last few posts to mention it, but Ben (Gitty) has decent cheap tuners. I've used them on 3 builds and they are fine. not fancy, but they hold tuning well and are freakin' cheap. plus, he's a member of our community here, and a good guy to do business with. 'nuff said.

+1 on the C.B. Gitty recommendation. I just got several bags full and although I havent had the opportunity to install or use them, they look like a good value for the low price.
Bonus is he is a good guy to deal with, advertises here and therefore helps support the nation.............
C.B . Gitty has some. I just got a batch from him for some 4 strings I'm building they get the job done and are cheap. Got them with in 2 days. Stew mac's tuners are better made but are more money.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will give Elderly a call and get some tuners. I've got 2 CBG's ready for tuners and I'm getting antsy, plus a bunch of box's waiting to be transformed from empty box's to music machines.
I've also gotten some from StewMac. Bought their economy tuners (3 to a side) and also their economy banjo tuners which come with 4 regulars and a fifth. Figured after I build 3 4-stringers I'll have three extras for a 3-stringer.
Yep. By my calculations I can now do three 3 stringers and another waiting for glue to dry single stringer. lol.
(BTW, I just got an email letting me know the tuners shipped 1st class this a.m. )

I bought a set of 12 string tuners like this (six on a side) and then just cut them into singles with a hack saw. Got enough for three 4-stringers for about $8 total. Worked great!

I did not see that one but, I only need 3 per guitar so 5 on a side wont cut it. Good price though.
