I have a Malibu ca. 1986 and now one of the tuning machine buttons (white, fake pearl?) is broken. (See pics below)
It looks a bit like the tuning buttons on the current Malibu CE
http://www.fender.com/acoustics/folk/malibu-ce/ which on http://music.productwiki.com/fender-malibu-ce/ is said to include "Vintage Machine Heads with White Plastic Buttons".

Can I use one of the following single tuning machine spares? Or do I have to change the whole set?

Replies are appreciated - I really don't want to change all the machines as they look quite nice.

Hey hakonr,
I've never seen tuners sold as singles only in sets. However if you took it to a store that does repairs they may have some left over from a previous repair job. Or they would be able to find a set that look like what you have if you ended up replacing all the tuners.

Good Luck :)

Ok Zach thanks, I tried one local shop that couldn't help. But I'll try another one.
Note: Both tuners linked in my first post are apparently sold individually from fender.com and other single spares as well: http://www.fender.com/guitar-bass-parts/tuning_machines/.
But I see from their pictures that the ones with white/pearl buttons are not the same shape as the ones I have.
Guess I'll maybe end up changing them all.
