I posted previously re the frets on this banjo but am starting a new post.

Yesterday I used this banjo in a public performance (local country music club) and I was blown away with not only the sound, but the playability. It is has a very different voice than my 2005 Gold Star GF 85.

The purpose of me posting is the peghead tuners appear (at least to my eye) to be the cheapy Asian ones that appear on Ebay and the like, yet they work smoothly. I know it is a lottery when purchasing these tuners as to whether they work well or even at all!
Does anyone know what the Japanese tuners were during the 70's?
