The rest of the photos..See on small piece of wood inside shell reads 592509 under that number is K277 under that Mr. Roxy....Mikey

His actual name was Rudolf Linnek.

Kinda cool, but it looks like it'll be a lot of work to restore. Worth it? Can't tell original manufacturer from lugs...Star?

I was thinking the same thing. There seems to be quite a bit of wood damage and evidence of mucho moisture. Yeouch. Sorry Mikey. Not trying to sound negs after such a neato cheap purchase. Just seeing some roughness inside there.

I think that wood inside will clean up well !! The stains can be lightened but not removed !! You`re on your own with that hardware though !!

German drum ; there are threads and posts on this forum.------catch up----crappy in it's condition yes, but it's parts might come in handy. the drums have intrinsic merit and are worthy of rebuilding, especially in their elite incarnation.--------far beyond MIJ stuff.

Very nice ole drum - wow = $5 ! That's a cup of coffee.

Sheeesh - I thought I was doing well at $25 for a MIJ tom.

Your drum is a beauty.

Nice find

Nobody would have passed this up fpr 5.00. Its a cool drum.

Patience and hard work will result as one more beauty drum in your collection, Mikey --- not bad for $5 only... :)
