That’s a tough call. I agree with Archie; you gotta learn how to do some repairs/maintenance on your own.
That said, you also have to know when it’s time to stop making thing worse & call the plumber!
If it is anything like my experiences, I would try to fix it first, and keep trying to fix it until I finally break it permanently. Then it’s on to Plan B: “Buy a New Banjo.”
(That’s really Plan A, but one must keep up appearances.)
Do 4 Quarters = One Hour?

I suggest the fix attempt, that way you will understand the intricacies of your instrument at the same time be putting that cash aside for your BRAND NEW BANJO!!! This way you kill two birds with one stone! The way I see it, you will learn to do repairs on that old friend ( you have enough people and contacts in the forum to guide you slowly through the repair steps so you wont do anymore damage) and be building your kiddie to get that BRAND NEW BANJO!!! See easy peasy what you you think cowboy? Your half way there and you saved a life of an old friend. Just an idea.
