	surferman says: 9/13/2013 9:42:35 AM no I don't. Where/how do I locate that?
	CGDA says: 9/13/2013 12:43:50 PM You have to remove the resonator. The serial number is marked on the inside face of the rim and, matching, on the dowel stick.

	surferman says: 9/15/2013 12:13:56 PM I am working on it. I don't want to take it apart myself the first time. Anyone know of a good banjo shop in San Diego???
	CGDA says: 9/15/2013 1:41:34 PM Opening the back of this banjo is easier than opening the door of your car. The prudence is never enough, anyway. I think that you doesn't need a banjo shop. Every banjo player could show you how to do this job safely.
	surferman says: 9/15/2013 4:07:37 PM Well my friend, my problem now appears to be that I am not acquainted with any banjo players, but I think you have motivated me to open the thing up and play by ear..
	surferman says: 9/19/2013 10:32:40 PM The number on the inside of the banjo appears to be 724893. Anyone have any info?
	CGDA says: 9/20/2013 2:11:15 AM The last Paramount was built in 1935 with a serial number of about #15500. #724893 is probably a patent number. Please, see if other numbers are visible on rim and dowel stick. If your banjo is in original condition they are matching. All the Best
