Stunning set John and great restoration on that ft.I`ve never personally seen this wrap before and rare indeed it is!Thanks for giving my eyes a true taste of very fine vintage and like a fine wine...just keeps getting better!If that ft was a rewrap the match is perfect.On the other hand... if you repaired it please tell me how you worked your magic.

Wayne - it's not a rewrap. I'm sorry we lost the original thread. It was one I started at the 'new forum' which got lost when we went back to the 'old forum' format.

I used a black counter-top seam sealer! (Kampel Seam-Fil) I applied it with a putty knife. The second I wiped on the sealer, the splits disappeared right before my eyes. The splits blend with the surrounding so well that you have to look hard and be 'up-close and personal' to see it. I was so nervous about the repair because it's on such a rare drum, but it came out so well, it turns out I had nothing to be worried about. I can't see the repair when I'm looking straight at it.

Damn! I should have kept those! Kidding,John...Great restoration work!

Wow, that fix turned out great. Awesome kit John!

Vinny - Thank you! Man, I was waiting for you to see them and how they came out. Remember how worried I was about fixing the floor tom? Turns out I had nothing to worry about. I have trouble finding the repair when I go to look for it and I'm sitting 12" away from it!

Mendozart - The kit came out really great (amazing snare drum!) and I'm having big fun playing it every day.

Thanks for checking them out. Not many of these buggers around.

John

very very nice!

Purdie strikes again! That kit is SUH-weet, man! I dig the repair job...looks great!

I have been absent for a time, fill me in on this kit and that new snare your parading around!! (Jk)
