I just saw a 5 string Silvertone with a bake o lite pot and a resonator. Anyone know about these? Vintage and worth? This one is sporting a replacement skin head. Tuning machines are set up in pairs, 1,2 and 3,4. Quite the rig. Les

Probably a Sears spec Harmony ResoTone. They are durable if inexpensive. Probably from the 1960s, about $60 new. I find the neck too narrow for my taste.

Wouldn't command a high premium. A MINT example sold for $175 at a local shop. Not really a bad banjo for a beginner, though.
