missing ferrule and screw on Fender branded Schaller lite bass tuner

missing ferrule and screw on Fender branded Schaller lite bass tuner
Hi gang, I am looking, without success so far, for a ferrule and string on this gold fender tuner (made by schaller). Neither company has the spare part and I couldn’t source it anywhere.
Tips? Do you have something like it in a spare parts bin? I don’t have a lathe but I could bribe a friend to make one if I can’t find it. And the screw!
Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
Ciao, Max

If all else fails, I could make you one out of brass, but if you have someone locally it might be cheaper with shipping costs.

Thanks James but it would make more sense to get it made locally

Have you considered contacting Schaller and seeing if they can ship the part you need? I’ve been amazed at how accommodating manufacturers can be.
I know you can purchase single tuning machines (saw Schaller BLM on Warmoth) and rob the ferrule you need. I’ve purchased whole guitars before just get a part I needed! 🙂

I actually contacted both Fender and Schaller. The issue is that those are older models and the current ones don’t have the ferrule and screw, it’s a different fit. So neither have spare parts 🙁
