Don't make fun of me
No banjo jokes, please. I recently picked up a 70s vintage Harmony 5-string resonator banjo to rehab. It is looking and sounding pretty good with a new Remo head, new strings and replacement maple/bone bridge. Lots of fun to play, but Earl Scruggs I ain't!

Does it have the hard plastic pot assembly? Those plastic Harmony banjos are loved by a lot of remote cabin-dwellers up here in Alaska because they're more or less impervious to weather fluctuations - it doesn't affect them as much if the cabin gets freezing cold then warmed up again by a woodstove.
Anyway, have fun with it!\ Wade Hampton Miller

There have been quite a few of them here in RI on Craigslist. If I weren't in the middle of a Gold Tone overhaul, I'd probably be working on one myself.

Have fun with the banjo. I bought a 1980s Hondo II last year but I never play it but one day I'll have a closer look.
