This kit was in "Pieces..bits and pieces" when I found it. Naaa it was in pretty good shape but the floor tom was missing. I finally managed to find one a couple of months ago and now the kits up and running and in my humble opinion sounds as good as it looks.

MMMMMMMM, Red glass and chrome. Now that's the look. Very nice job at putting the ol' gal back to the way she belongs! Looks like it just left the S.R. 48 factory. Beautiful kit. I was going to say that we need to find you a red sparkle Powertone, but I dig the chrome and red sparkle look, and that dyna looks great back there. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys. I agree with Powertone a matching PT would look pretty cool with this kit.

Yes I did but it is a little different angle. I had to go thru a few buyers remorse episodes to get this far.(Whew) Thank you for your comment!!!

Red Sparkle is a very nice finish......
I used to not care for it too much,and then a few years ago I had a Luddy set come in in red,and it looked very sharp......
A Rogers set in Red is even cooler/more rare.
A few months back,a long time friend/customer, offered me a nice Red Londoner,but I didn't have the coin,so I advertised it on here for I think $750 (without snare) ,and 1 person replied,and he only had to drive around 30 mies to look at it,but didn't want to ,as I didn't have pics.....
His loss!

I'd drive a 100 miles for a Londoner at that price. Up here they go for twice that.Car Driving2

Very nice !!

I don't know Kevin,
as much as I like the swans,the 60's Sonors with the balls on the feet are sweet looking,as are the Premier Lokfast stands..........

Well,if it makes you feel any better..
I had a whole set of 60's Sonor Deluxe (thats what they called them) cymbal stands years ago,and the center tube would rock against the bottom section,causing rattle,so I sold them.
They sure looked Jetsons though!
The Lokfast.....no problems with them!

Lokfast are the bomb.... I sold the only complete one I have about two years ago and have regretted it ever since......
