like it... might be good for a super prim rig...
I like your thinking, and it will work.
I have two misgivings however. In my experience (Much use of these in a more "normal" application.) the worm drive mechanism is lets say less than precision, begins to wear and distort after just a few tightenings, and repeated movement will cause them to fail and slip in short order.
Second thought is that yeah they are cheap, but for all the effort modifying them and such you could have a set of economy tuners quite inexpesively in the first place. CB Gitty; set of six for under $8! Seriously thats cheap, and unless you are scrounging the hose clamps off dad's Buick, your not really saving any money!
Not knocking your innovatave thinking however, keep it fun!

takes about a minute to make one, err! precision on a stick in a box and I live in Britian no such thing as a cheap tuner over this side of the pond.lol P.S. as of yet not one slippage but they are only one string diddle bows. lol

I see what your saying, and at that tension I can see them working fine. And on a Diddly Bow its really more of a string tensioner. Cool idea!
