Cool kit. Early 70s YD series, well made birch/luan shells. The pick of the early Japanese made drums. The finish is called black willow. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the kit. I recently sold a similar kit that i restored and gigged with. I may yet regret selling them.

Thanks for the information. As far as restoring goes, how do I clean/polish the shells? What did you use?

No problem, and welcome btw. There's lots of information about cleaning etc on the site and there are differing methods etc. However, this is how I go about it.

I take it a drum at a time. Remove all the lugs and other hardware from the shell. Dismantle the lugs and then soak the lug casings in a mixture of dawn dish soap and water over night (I actually can't get Dawn over here but other members swear by it). If you have rusty tension rods, mounting screw etc, soak them in white vinegar over night.

Wipe the shell down with a damp cloth to get rid of grime and then get yourself a bottle of Novus plastic polish No.2 (widely available - I believe Harley dealerships stock it) and polish and buff the wrap (you can follow with No.1 if you like). This polish removes the fine scratches and really brings the wrap back to life. I usually finish with a coat of a good auto wax.

When you've scrubbed and dried the soaked chrome parts give them a polish with a good metal polish like Sidchrome. Clean and dry the rusted parts that were soaking in the vinegar and reassemble.

If the hoops have some of the typical surface rust then I use aluminum foil and water and rub the rusted areas. It works a treat and doesn't scratch the chrome. Don't use steel wool.

That's about it I think. Here's a before and after photo that sort of gives you an idea. The difference will be even more noticeable in the flesh.

You're bound to strike other challenges not mentioned above but there's always a solution - just ask.
