Banjo Ben and Elderly are out of a lot of parts and my emails bounce back from Beacon as undeliverable

Anywhere else sell parts? I need replacement buttons, leather washers and side thumbscrew springs.

I certainly hope that Bill's son (I think his name is Martin?) hasn't given up or closed the doors on beacon banjo. I have ordered parts from him before, and not that long ago.... springs, leather washers, side stop screws.... (those darn things seem to get lost..... ) so if he has, that's NOT good news.

You might try to contact Martin Keith, Bill's son, at his website. MartinKeithGuitars.com
This is a possibility of something to try. I've never had any contact with him.

Have you contacted Elderly about this? It seems to me that when Elderly shows
items as "sold out", they intend to get more of the item. If they don't intend to get
more of the item, they take it off their website. Just my opinion of how it seems
to work with Elderly.

Banjo Ben site had an option to be notified when parts are back in stock so I've done that

Great to be here. Great to be in NZ. Not so good for parts though!
