Need help with Majestic kit

Posts: 50 Threads: 5

I need some parts to complete this kit and am having trouble finding anything in the Omaha area. I have a 60's Majestic kit that I picked up this week and it came without any screws to hold down the heads and rims. I have the threaded pieces for most of the kick drum, but none for the snare or 12" side tom. Turns out that the kick takes a standard sized thread and the toms do not. The local drum shop had nothing that would would fit and I hate to have to replace the innards for every single lug. Any thoughts???

Also have a snare strainer throw that does work, but I'm missing part of the other end that attaches to the drum. Here are photos of the snare throw on both sides.

Thanks,

Missing part of the tom rail for this "Deluxe Majestic Kit". Any help out there???

Also have a mystery arm of some kind on the bass drum to the right of the tom rail. Is this for a side cymbal?

I should have known when this guy posted the add for 180 and then dropped the price to 150. I offered him 80 and he jumped on it. Of course he failed to tell me that the freaking' tuning screws to hold the rims and head down could not be found around here. Freakin' shyster!

Anyway, I'm missing the feet for the kick drum and the threaded screw to hold the feet in. Where can I find the replacement parts? Here is the mount...

Thanks,

No worries Chuck. I'm sure you will hear from Mikey by morning. He's got everything you need, and if he doesn't, you will surely find all you need here on the forum. No worries......

I have one of those too.....I look forward to slapping it together. I have it all cleaned up, just need to take it to the shop to have the edges checked.

You will have a heard time finding the cymbal arm off the BD though. Prepare to go without that for a while! I have never seen one available, and it is rare to even catch a pic of the thing.

Enjoy though.....

$80 is a real bargain for such a kit. You have the offset lugs?

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

Yup! Never seen those before! Has the SS rims as well which are pretty cool and the wrap is fixable. I've learned more about Japanese kits than I ever thought possible the last few weeks. Started with a Kawai as a kit and than a 60's Pearl red sparkle kit. Moved up to Ludwigs after that. Now I'm up to five kits and two I'm restoring. Two Takamine acoustics, Five, Ibanez Electrics and down to one Hammond B3 and 122 Leslie! (G) I don't do drugs, drink or smoke, but I have a real GAS problem! lol

Okay.... I did see the feet and attachment on ebay for around 79 dollars and I just need the long feet. Gotta be something out that should work for less than this.
