Bought it!! The cymbal mount is on the left side but there's no screw marks or holes on the right side. Musta been for a lefty. The FT is missing one of its badges. The interior is painted black on all the drums :(. The double Tom mount maybe an add on. I can't tell until I take it fully apart.

The bearing edges look great. Heads fit perfect.

It's hard to tell how they sound because the heads are so old

I'm not sure if the hoops are original COB until I get home and grab a magnet.

The kick sounds nice! Even with nothing inside. There's a few scratches on the wrap.

I'm headed home to take them apart and make em sing! Ill post pics

It'll be easy enough to paint the interiors if you're gonna strip them down, There's a Benjamin Moore color that's correct. If not, just leave it and play on!

I've been on a Coated Emp over Coated Ambo kick lately.YMMV. Thinking of trying Vintage Ambo's on the new Clubbies.

The only real evidence of the tom mount being an add-on would be holes left from a previous mount.

. Meguiar's Plastx will do wonders with the wrap. I used it on an auto buffer on these. Here's before & after pics of my last SBP set....... Congrats!!
