Prices for this kind of thing are all over the map here in Canada. Anywhere from $20 to $100 and beyond.

Here's a Coronet kit on kjiji for nine hundred dollars! Cymbals and stands, sure, but...anyway is that your snare he has?

Here are the "before" pictures. This is what it was like when we found it:

Here are the "after" pictures. For the most part, just a good cleaning. There was one lug insert that was broken and had to be replaced; also had to replace one tension rod. Added a lightly use Evans G2 batter head. Otherwise, I'm convinced the rest is original.

Nice work and sweet drum! Now I just have to figure out why I thought "Apollo" meant "Coronet"...lol.

Nice find Bill! It did clean up to look mint, you were right.

Hey, that's OK... who knows, they may have been made in the same plant anyway!

I honestly have never found an MIJ drum of this era in this good of condition to start with, so it really didn't take a lot of work. Sounds OK, too...

I plan on moving it along (like just about everything else I get my hands on!), but haven't landed on an asking price yet...

Geesh!

Slingerland GK snare copy much?

My first thought was "it's a Krupalike!"

That's one of the things I like about that era of MIJ's, that they chose Slingerland to emulate rather than Ludwig or Gretsch.

I wonder if somewhere in Japan there is THE Slingerland kit that was used to design the copies.
