after months of carefully chipping concrete and paint off the brass plate i’ve finally revealed the data. i’ve also made wax copies of the change gear banjo as mine is split. it’s shown superglued (so i could mould it) obviously an aluminium cast isn’t going to be as good but it’s the best i can achieve with the tools available.?

I’m surprised to find metric threading data! it’s the very plate that was on my lathes side door.?

i can’t imagine it’s original? Dennis mentioned a few years ago my Lot 4 has a 24 lead
maybe someone can look at brass plate or the text i’ve copied from it and let me know if it’s correct for my lathe.?

In your situation I'd fabricate a steel banjo and blend the welds in so it would look identical to the original, a coat of paint will hide all evidence and you'll end up with a far stronger banjo than the original.

?That is, if you can't find an original replacement.

Just my 2 cents on it, but then I'm known to hate alumicrap.
