Replacement buttons

I'm looking to swap out the buttons on my machineheads but not sure what type are likely to fit off-the-shelf, if any. Pic attached. The machineheads are cheap generic Chinese, but work well enough, so I'm trying to avoid changing whole thing. Any pointers?

Go on eBay and find Lueezguitars from Taiwan, he sells Der Jung Tuners for 30 bucks a set and less. He has new grips too, he'll send you a set of grips, but they might not match your tuners. He'll pop them in the mail the next day.

ditto on what estebanana said. I have a set of "Fusteros" that work very well and they cost almost next to nothing. The last time I looked Lueezguitars offers replacement buttons in many styles.

Thanks all- strange they don't come up on UK ebay searches even though they offer free shipping to here if I search via USA ebay. Given tiny price difference and reduced risk, I might have to resign myself to buying complete machine heads.
