All hardware and lugs were removed, cleaned and polished. They were also lined with black foam paper to eliminate any unwanted squeaks. The drums themselves made of Philippine Mahogany and the insides soaked up about half a bottle of Teak-Oil before being sprayed with a light coat of clear-coat semi-gloss finish. The outsides of the drums were treated for any minor cracks and delamination around the edges and then washed/waxed/buffed adfinium. The drum batter head bearing edges were all in good shape but were sanded sealed and cleaned up. There were no major issues with the mounting hardware aside from needing some polish and elbow grease. A minor repair was made to a smaller crack on the 12" tom and isn't noticeable unless being scrutinized. Also a small piece of the bass drum hoop wrap was missing and replaced with a like replacement (not visible is under bass drum hoop facing the floor). There are also some marks from where the bass pedal attaches and from normal wear and tear over the past 50 or so years.
I wish I could keep it, but Violin
