Maybe.
Individual flanges, 2-piece or 4-piece? How many brackets? What pot size—measure the head diameter to the nearest 1/16". Do not measure the back if it has a bracket band? What Vega banjo and when was it made? All of these are important.

1918 Tu-ba-phone Fairbanks Vega 10 5/16".
I had originally thought is was from 1925 but I see now from the serial number and head stock inlay i have an older banjo. I would like to put a resonator on it. perhaps you have some suggestions as to how one could do so.

Are you sure it's not 10 15/16? If it is, I have a 4-piece flange set and may also have a resonator.
