I had many guitars and always loved to have either Fustero or quite good tuners on them: therefore I had many. As ratio precision/smoothness I'd suggest you (in order) Klaus Scheller, Rodgers, Alessi, or Baliak. Exagon and M&M are nice, smooth and ultra precise being also relatively cheap, but maybe they look too modern for a Simplicio. For a Simplicio guitar I'd suggest either Rodgers or Alessi (Simplicio model). Alessi is about to send me a specially engraved Fleta model (he is actually making some sets to be sent to Gabriel Fleta). The price will be around 380 Euro (here in Europe), while I couldn't find any Rodgers tuning machine for less than 700 $. In terms of pure efficiency, Gotoh pro, Rubner pro model, Gilbert, Schaller grandtune, Baliak etc can work just as nicely as more expensive tuners.

Here are the tuners on a 1928 spruce/satinwood Simplicio for sale at Guitar Salon International, in case you haven't already checked them out. I haven't seen any just like them for sale on modern sites, but they look like they might be Bakers, which Simplicio used. You might try emailing Guitar Salon with your question. Their prices are high and they can be kind of snooty when talking about their collector's items, unless they already have qualified your finances, but other than that they are pretty nice people. Another couple of sources might be Yuris Zeltins, the master repairman and restorer (just Google him), and Aaron Green, a well known luthier, dealer and restorer. http://www.aarongreenguitars.com RNJ
