Hello, drummers. Newbie here. Found this forum while doing some research on my 1966 Slingerland Shelbyville snare. I have already found some good info! Great site you have here. I know it will help me as I continue refurbishing this old kit. Finished up the snare last nite. Looks good and it's never sounded better. I may not sell it after all!

Welcome! Once you start cleaning things up it becomes really tough to let them go!

Thanks for the welcome. You're right, but I think it's time to let someone else enjoy them. I have owned them since new. Currently have a set of DW Collecters Series and the Slingys don't get much use anymore.

Actually it's silver sparkle. Lighting conditions were rather poor. They do clean up well, though.
