A friend of mine acquired an 12 1/8" Orpheum pot with the Rettenberg & Lange plate (so vintage before 1922) and the brackets along the rim on which the tone ring is mounted. Unhappily, the tone ring is missing. Does anyone either have a line on a tone ring for this banjo or information about the diameter of the ring?

I have tried to measure my tone ring mounted in the banjo of my 121/8 inch tenor and as far as I can see, as it is a bit awkward to measure in situ, the inside diameter of the ring is 105/8 inch and the ring diameter is 5/16 inch. Hope this helps.
