This is a lovely vintage instrument. It does have some cosmetic issues, as we all do when we age! Probably the most significant is a gouge in the heel, although I never notice it when playing. Who needs to play up there on a banjo uke? You can see a crack in the shell. It is stable, but probably would not hurt to wick in a bead of superglue just to be safe.
It is a great player with really good intonation, great action and a nice vintage sound. The vintage tuner work great and all hardware works well. The head is a natural skin head. I recently put a new set of Aquila Sugar strings on which give it a really lively, yet warm sound. Thus is really charming and fun to play.
