Let's see - put a magnet in the center hole and wrap wire around the wire spool that might work for a pickup and a plugged in banjo!

Very nice tone and a great use of an otherwise discarded item...I hope other's will be inspired to do the same...

Nice ideas and work, Cajun.  I am most impressed with how warm mellow nice you and that banjo sound.
