well it finally turned up and it's very nice. I even got a nice message from the seller saying they were initially unsure about shipping internationally but they are glad they did and happy it's gone to a good home. I will, of course, send them photos after the refurb. It was her husband's drum in high school and it was a little difficult parting with it.
Anyway, it's in very nice shape, in round with no serious work required. It needs a clamshell throw handle (have sent an email to Emory at Drumatix and awaiting a reply) and the tension knob side of the clamshell is a bit twisted. I don't know if this is common but I'll try and coax it back into line. The wires are original and when I removed them they relaxed into a very drunken version of their former selves. So I might have to replace them.
Here she is with the (rather excellent) chrome parts removed. And yes, she's single ply.
