Still looking for a Faulkner tone ring, and I believe the Epiphone Minstrel, Gibson RB-180 and 1964-9 250's would have this ring. I'll buy a whole banjo or pot if it has the right ring in it. If it has 19 holes, it's not a Faulkner. '63 250's have been reported with this ring. Anyone know who made them for Gibson?
Also trying to track down a nice PW OPF conversion to RB-3, this has a full thickness 00 rim, a standard 3 pattern neck, and an original 3 resonator numbered 9524-17. That resonator was repaired and replaced with an undamaged 9466 resonator, and the owner of the origina flathead would be happy to trade an undamaged mismatch for the match to his rim. The 00 rim has a Bill Porter repro decal in it.
