So, was this a ball bearing model? If so, have the ball bearing holes been plugged? Does it have the original arch top tone ring or a newer flat head ring? A couple pics would be helpful.

it has a huber flat top tone ring. i don't know what type tone ring it originally had. it was purchased in 2005 from howie specter, who was selling old banjos on ebay. i tried to contact him but all searches failed.

Have you tried posting at http://banjohangout.org ? You'll certainly get a better response among banjo players.
Good luck on the sale!
