Bought this from a gal via craigslist. She said she's had it sitting since 1991 and never learned to play. It was a gift from a guy she knew that had been sitting on it for 30+ years (Give or take, purchased in mid 50's-mid 60's). It's in immaculate condition for the age. No bent or broken hooks, no fret wear or fret buzz, no damage as far as I can tell. Only cosmetic damage I've found were several scuff marks on the back of the resonator. The tuners are a little stiff, too (which I expected for its age).
Any chance anyone can ID this banjo off the number on the truss 6119, and also put a price on how much it's worth?
I went in with the assumption it's a Kay, but I'd like to know more details if possible.
Also, any advice on investing in new tuners would be greatly appreciated. Pics attached.
