Too bad we can't read it, i would sure like to. Those need to be reprinted, i would buy them.

 

click on pics then click to inlarge.

 

Yes, they are half screen but far from being readable.

 

After it opens, click again...then again

 

Thanks aj, i never knew that, works great....i learn something new everyday

 

Great stuff there. But I have a question, I have a banjo that the center is 3a 13/16. The backing plate mounting surface is 53 inches which according to this points to a 42-48. But the distance on my spring hangers is 48 1/2 which points to a 35-40. Anyone got a clue as to what year this is?
