Took me 2 months to restore'em...9x13,12x14 (not pictured), 16x16 and 14x24...Im still working on the cloud badge matching snare...some genious instaled a Rogers muffler on it leaving three small extra holes).
Looking for 14x26 cloud badge to trade for my 14x24 which is a 54' gold oval badge...Ill put cash on top!!! Anyway...They sound...CLASSIC...
How "mint" does the bass drum have to be? I have a great sounding cloud badge 26 from roughly 1948 that Id be willing to trade for a 24. It looks beautiful, but there are some minor mods.
Slingy 50's spurs installed. Ratchet tom holder. Has the internal muffler as well. Looks to have been done by a shop back in the day, but the cloud badge isn't located on top for some reason??? Both hoops have inlay, but one has a thicker inlay (like Gretsch). The other is standard size. Same fade all around. Very nice drum....I just dont really dig on 26 inchers.
My toms look the same as yours (with the clips). Anyway...send me an email if you like. I can send you some pics.
Thanks!

Great job on those Radio Kings. You are to be commended for bringing a beautiful set back to life!!
You gotta do one more thing:
Get an original hoop mount for the ride cymbal like they did in the 30s and 40s.
I actually have one from the 1930s if youre interested.
Hey Retrosonic. Ive been thinking about that...There were two of them on Feebay a couple of weeks ago. They sold for $80 ($40 each) ...I have several Slingerland,Ludwig and even Leedy but theyre newer...(60s and 70s)...Id be very interested on yours. please send me price and pixs to [email]vintagedrumbug@live.com[/email]...I have a lot of stuff for trade too!
