Hello!
Since a month I'm the second owner of this beautiful Tama Superstar from 1980.
An 67 year old drummer finally made up his mind to sell this kit after a lifetime of playing drums. He has been the first owner since he bought this kit back in 1983.
Now 31 years later, this kit still is in good condition!
Now I want to know what the worth of this kit in this condition. I will post pictures of the entire kit, but also some detail picture of the shells.
What are you going to see?

From now on I will show you some detail pictures of each shell.
I start with the 8x12 tom tom (No. 118957)
This drum is in very good condition.

Second drum is the 9x13 tom tom (No.128454)
This drum doesn't look that great inside. It sounds great but the lugs screws need to be changed because of oxidation. Fortunately the wood and bearing edges are in good condition.
Take a look:

Now have a look at the 16x16 floor tom (No. 119105)
Unfortunately this drum does have some rusty lug screws as well. But only the lug screws on the batter side are need to be replaced. So weird that not all screws are rusty.

Last drum: 14x24 bass drum (No. 128590)
Bass drum is in very good condition. This drum needs only to be cleaned up, just like all other drums.

What's this? Looks like a kind of glue. I can remove it...

So I hope you had enough time to see all pictures?
Do you have any idea what should be an honest price for this kit?
Can anyone help me out to get at least 20 lug screws for replacement.
Can anyone help me out to get a bass drum leg?
I guess I need replace a mount plate of the bracket of the 13 inch tom tom
Thanks alot for taking your time to read!
I hope to get some response!
Stay cool!
