Picked one of these up a while back. I can't keep this thing tuned at all. Any ideas for a solid replacement? I'd love to do some Imperials, but don't know if they'll fit without some work.
ALSO - Any know where I can find a case to fit this thing?
dearmond m-75 tuners and a case?

Check the nut and bridge first - the tuners are very rarely the culprit.

I've got a DeArmond M-77T. The stock tuners work just fine for me. Stays in tune even when using the Digsby. Ckeck the nut and make sure the strings arn't binding.
Can't help with the case.

Me: I've got one. At first I thought the tuners were iffy. A good setup later, nut and saddles lubed, tuning problems gone. The tuners actually work rather well. It was the Digsby that needed a little help. Now I use it lots, no more than the occasional tuning tweak.
the case thing is more problematic. I got tired of schlepping this around in a cheesy soft case, ended up springing for a new Gretsch case, maybe for a Duojet originally. It's a bit bigger than the M75T, cost me half as much as the guitar but I no longer have to worry about it.

And one more thing on the M-75T. Maybe you have the amp thing covered with this one. I've been experimenting with mine, as it's rapidly becoming a real favorite. The winner here is the '57 low power tweed twin RI. Others sound good with the M75T as well, but there's something special going on with the tweed twin. Can't believe sound like this is coming out of a "cheap" guitar.
