red - more like a hard-to-find commodity, which is why you paid out the wazoo for them. Just the way it is with any early Camco, or Geo, Way stuff. If there's something you need, you have to dig deep, bite the bullet and pull the trigger. Otherwise it could mean months of waiting for another one to show up for sale. I wasn't kidding, it took me all of two years and buku bucks to piece together an Oaklawn orphan kit. You're not alone, a lot of us have felt the 'Camco Sting.' LOL

Dunnett has done a heavy-duty version of the snare throw for his Geo. Way drums. See if you can't pick up one of those so it's playable straight off.

The drum is perfect except for the broken strainer extension.

I can see how they would break as they are not that robust.

I know there are new replacements available, but it is still fully functional as is, so I am going to hold out for a correct vintage strainer.

Anybody here have an unbroken Camco economy strainer for sale?
