With my assistant organizing my massive collection of vintage parts, we ran in to a single banjo geared tuning peg that is unfamiliar to me.



Some details;

All steel construction, except for the attachment nut and washer.

Housing has a lip on the peghead side.

Housing is 11/16" diameter.

2-1/2 to 1 gear ratio.

White plastic button currently installed looks like a 1950's vintage, but could be newer than the tuner.

Square shaft for the knob.



I appreciate any positive ID you all can give me.

Bob, I see the lack of response as proof that if you don't know, who would?

John: My thoughts exactly!
