Here are pics of my 1926 Gibson TB 5 originally a ball bearing head. I bought it from Lloyd McCormick in 1996, Lloyd got it from Dale Sledd in the '70s, along with a bunch of other banjos. Dale played with the Osborne Bros. Not sure who made the mismatched neck. Aftermarket parts would be the Deluxe tailpiece, one resonator screw and a hook or two. The not original 40 hole tone ring and tension hoop I have no idea if they are Gibson or other. All this banjo really needs is a style 5 neck. As it is, it has a great tone that rings, almost hurts my ears it's so loud! Every banjo nerd who's heard or played it loves it. I had it over to Scotty Jackson to set it up. He was still working out of the basement of Hewgley's in Nashville after they had moved. I liked chatting with Scotty. He said Bernie Leadon came by while my banjo was there and Bernie liked it. Kinda cool story since Bernie and Gibson, in their last banjo years, came out with a Style 5 Bernie Leadon model.
