Thanks all, the sizes are 9X13 10X14 16X18 18X20!!! and 14X24. I have no intention of selling them and every intention of playing them. In the meantime I'm cleaning them one piece at a time. I've already applied some of what I've learned from this forum... I disassembled the Speed Kings and cleaned, lubed repainted and modified them to get the squeaks out, bought felt at the fabric store for 4" muffler strips, researched and decided which heads to buy, made an adapter plate to convert the snare from Super Sensitive Strainer (missing) to P-85. All of it I learned from this forum, so thanks! A couple of things I've picked up from years of car restoration that might come in handy for others, I used a product called Rust Mort to remove rust. It's available in auto paint supply stores. It's basically phosphoric acid, also known as Metal Prep and various other names. Used with 000 steel wool, it dissolves rust quickly and easily from rims and hardware. Lug screws and washers that needed it were soaked in a diluted solution of water and Rust Mort. I used a toothbrush and chrome polish on parts that were just simply scuzzy and all parts took a turn on the polishing wheel. Two other products I'm using are Mother's Mag polish, which really cleans and shines the Speed King footboards, and Simichrome, a German made chrome polish that gives chrome a dark and almost buttery appearance. So thanks for the help, y'all. I've learned so much from you already.
