For you ball bearing searchers out there, a ball bearing two piece tone ring with what looked like most of the little ball bearings and washers, showed up on eBay this morning. Looked like a 1926; no shotgun holes. At Gryphon in California. https://www.ebay.com/itm/356036738438?_skw=Gibson+banjo+ball+bearing+tonering&itmmeta=01J7PN6V7EXG1PEV56VD9J4GCJ&hash=item52e5717d86:g:7iAAAOSwCcZm44mO&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKk61tSFarmQQorjh0BxRiAWNzAgUmDGICTSbkXMBeunD4t4a%2F1sdyxlUzuZ6Gu%2BlyikbWS8S%2Frd33TRfQ8XfltK9AslyhTtqV2q%2FsKzAiB1H%2FPKZOKqem1uqHKjkwwcCcjsPWml9DLvf0Rjpz2PZgEsHu1zPOUrG%2BgzltDyBv%2FUgkpUKcN4M%2Bot8ZEzjVVK1Fotk%2BKEOizGz9591FQUhWgnhWMl655Sif9snfbNAfI8QYiNF7R6wfYkm%2BwHWEQdyJqQlOxT5EWhI63OhCd21J1C%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-Szm9W9ZA
