I have literally played hundreds and hundreds of vintage guitars from the 30's through the late 60's and I've never once had a tuner "crumble" in my hand. My dad has a '63 335 that been gigged thousands upon thousands of times and the tuners are still intact and the guitar stays in perfect tune.

all is good. They did have single line kluson tuners originally, but they weren't the "delux" model with the larger keys. The Crestwood had the smaller keys and the crumbling plastic problem was supposedly fixed by 1961. Here's a pick of what the Delux tuners from the late 50s did though.
