Hi guys,
Recently picked up this Slingy Hollywood Ace (April 1961) off ebay as my next project. The shell itself is in really great shape - no extra holes or ring separation. The wrap has a ton of orange staining that I think I can possibly remove (at least some of it). The chrome is in pretty bad shape throughout, especially on the lugs and rims where there are scratches or "spiderwebbing". Speaking of spiderwebs, there were plenty of real ones inside the drum and a live spider to boot (at no extra charge ;) ). I need to pick up some snares though. Anyone know what type of snares were used on the Aces?
Ill post more pics when cleaning gets under way.
James
