Kevin - I see it in the 76 Catalog - I don't see it in the 77 - I don't have access to the 75.
Yep, I think they came and went in '76, Gary...
That helicoil might do the trick for the leg mount.
I have had some good luck finding replacement wing screws from this seller on Ebay ..... loria398

That's a nice drum. I just played my Slingerland set out with the 18" floor tom. It does thunder. I have the same problem with one of my leg mounts. The other 3 have the heli coil inserts. Looks like the insert fell out of one of mine. I have been trying to find someone who could put a insert in for me. Auto shop maybe. Just don't want to spend $20 for the heli coil kit for one insert.or if I could just find one 3/8" insert I might could get it to fit myself. That is a nice big maple shell you have there ! I like mine. It would make a nice little bass drum. I could do that with mine and use the 13" as a up tom and the 14" or 15" as the floor. That set looks nice skapunkedge. You have a pic of it finished ?
Nice drum Gary. The denim wrap is so cool. I love big floor toms!! I have a 20" floor tom that sounds like thunder! I've always like bigger drums so fits me well. Have fun with that one. Hoops are pretty easy to find if you want a original stick saver.
I wouldn't use this floor tom for a bass drum, the wrap is easily damaged and would absorb moisture being so close to the ground.
Vibes - $20 is not bad at all if you can fix the leg support. I put a helicoil in a Gretsch drum part a while back and then taped it to fit the screw - worked great. Easy if you have a tap n' die set. I bought a cheap set at Home Depot years ago.
I have it for sale on FB right now. Even though it needs some parts I think maybe someone may have a project already on the go and would like to have an 18. I'm carefully cleaning it but that's about all I will do unless it doesn't sell.
Did you know AMC did a denim car interior in the 70's? How cool would it have been to put your denim Slingerland into your Levi's Gremlin?
