Hello All
I'm hoping that the collective knowledge here can help me to restore my Ajax kit to some form of glory.
I bought it about 20 years ago when I was 14 for £60. I think its a Nu Sound. It was in terrible condition then and I was sadly quite unaware of just what I was in possession of. Since then its lived in various sheds, cars, lofts, etc. Bits have fallen off and been replaced. Now I find myself in two bands that are booking festivals this summer and am keen to replace the missing bits and bobs. I've been buying up some half decent cymbals, re-skinning, etc and the repairs are the last part of my plan.
I'm missing one lug and tightening bolt (?) for the kick drum and also the wingnut/bolt bit (?) which threads through the rack tom mount on the kick drum. Also missing from this housing is the small, slightly curved plate which I guess was there to stop damage to the swivel mount arm by the wingnut/bolt thing.
(apologies for my lack of technical knowledge - that's also why I'm here :D)
Do any of you know of a good place to source these little pieces? I'm not obsessed with tracking down 100% original Ajax parts, just enough to make it play as well as it can again.
Again, many thanks in advance and hello.
ps - I'm based in the South-west, UK.
