Back in the 70's, owners of less expensive banjos would talk of upgrading with a Stewart-MacDonald tone ring. Never did it to my RB100 though. Excuse the digression - couldn't resist. Nick, WA5BDU

Mouser used to sell them- not sure if they still do. If there's a choice of sizes, the 6mm tool is the one most of us need. (The 4mm size is intended for the 2.5mm jacks.) 73 -Dave
