That's great to know. Now I know what to call my kit. It's also 20/13/16 and I didn't know whether to call it a Downclassic or a Superbeat

Got em!

Condition is okay. It definitely needs a thorough cleanup inside and out. The snare rash is kind of an eyesore but I'm okay with it since I did not buy this with the intention of just keeping it in a basement to look at; I'm more than excited to be playing gigs with this kit. We came to an agreement of $875 for the set which leaves me room to buy cleaning supplies and new heads (I'm pretty sure the ones on there now are straight from 1966).

So anyone want to help me put together a shopping list for cleaning supplies?

A few pics are below, I'll be taking a bunch more while I clean.

I wouldn't do much internally otr than minor wiping w/ water/soapy-water - taking care not to wipe the date stamp off (very easy to do!). Simichrome the lugs/ hoops, etc by removing them - very labor intensive; should weigh whether this is a step you want to really do. IF you remove such you may find that NOVUS 1 & 2 might improve the wrap (I've got the stuff but have yet to use it; the ladies here get teary-eyed about its efficacy, so this might be worthwhile).

If you're just going to enjoy the kit & gig it I don't think I'd do much of this, especially with the snare rash part going on. What I WOULD do, if the ft & bd are in excellent condition with wrap in prime condition, is keep my eyes open for another tom to match/replace the one w/ the rash, thus making it all-around very fine kit.

Enjoy the kit!

If they were mine I would take all the rims and lugs off the drums and soak them in some dawn and warm water overnight then rinse and dry them. You can polish them too. It's easier off the drums. Then you have smooth un obstructed shells to clean with some Novus or Mequires PlastiX. Give the rims a good cleaning. There the wost part for me but worth it when your finished. You can also put masking tape over the wood bass drum hoop strips and give them a light sanding just to smooth them up a little. I never sand them down to wood. And spray them with black gloss spray paint you can get for a dollar at Walmart.

If the heads are in good shape but just dirty give them a good scrubbing with Barkeepers friend. It's like comet but really is good. Use a stiff plastic brush and warm water in the bath tub. They will scrub to white. I have done this many times. Reassemble and you will have a sparkling kit.

the clean up part is the best bit for me. You can get great results with a bit of work. I use Novus No.2 on the wrap and you will be amazed with how well it works in getting the shine and deep lustre back into the wrap. The snare rash is all part of the kit's history so I wouldn't worry about that. The chrome will polish up really nice, too.

It's not a huge amount of work but the results are always worth it.

As Hobbs says though, be careful cleaning the interiors as the date stamps disappear very easily. I found this out first hand

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm going to go ahead and take them hardware off and give this kit a nice cleaning. I feel like this will not be the only vintage kit I own so cleaning this one will be good experience.

There's only a date stamp on the floor tom. I couldn't find one on the bass drum and it appears that the rack tom has been repainted.

There was also shower curtain in the bass drum and now my whole basement smells old haha.

I too am guilty of cleaning away my date stamp on my drums.

If you can write down or get a picture of the date stamps, do it BEFORE attempting to clean them.

You'd be surprised as time goes by how you can forget the dates.

BTW someone on here is cataloging serial numbers and date stamps into a database. I'm sure your kits info would help.
