I've finished for now, if ever finished, getting my Slingerlands into a good playable condition. Stripped and cleaned everything freed off a good few springs in lugs, all now ok. New Aquarian texture coated heads and a Superkick 1 on the bass, and she's sounding great. Obviously a few bits to replace, like wing nuts, 16" floor leg mounts, etc. but nothing stopping them being played. Black sparkle mellowed nicely to that root beer color. One question for you all, the bass drum hoops should have a silver inlay, correct?
I'll post some pics when I resize them to suit.
