Just a follow-up on my restoration. A few updates. First sorry about the missing Photobucket links. I'll try to get those repaired.
I had an old orphan Radio King snare shell that I re-wrapped with Delmar red glass glitter wrap that matches almost perfectly. Maybe a tad lighter. Also I finally got the bass drum hoop inlay done with the same Delmar wrap. Both from Precision drum. I also used the Gibraltar 3 point throw-off because original 3 points are so dear. No, the bottom hole doesn't line-up with the Slingerland 3 point holes so I only used the 2 top mounting holes and left the bottom mount float. It's quite stout and no extra holes in the shell. I found the strainer works great after a little lubrication. For 20 bucks you can't go wrong.
I must say that working with glass glitter is a lot more difficult than modern pearl wrap. Really enjoying the kit with the new snare.
