I have no idea if these would fit, but it's a starting point:

Hipshot makes a bevy of great tuners that will fit your GS Mini. Some also come with the cool option plates, that require no new drilling, and work with the new, no screw Taylor tuners. Most are 1:18 gearing...Great products, at a great price, if you know where to look (eBay)...I have changed out a number of my guitars to the Hipshot, including the Baby, and the GS-Mini...

I would like to do the same with the buttons on a 552 12 string. The lighter weight will help the neck balance...

I wonder if they are the same type Tuners?  Mine are smoother than I anticipated.  Yay

Cheers and Happy New Year
