Picked this puppy up on ebay on a low-ball bid. I don't plan to restore anything, except to clean it up, replace the heads, maybe the wires....
uh oh! Spinning out of control.
Really, I just wanted to check this out after reading about it in the Ludwig book. I dig the design and build of the snare throw off.
When I pull it out of the box, I saw the guard around the "butt plate" was bent. Well, no surprise.
The I saw the other was bent, too, and it was symmetrical. So I wondered... this CAN'T be the normal way those guards are built.... right??
Actually, I'm hoping someone will say 'yes,' because if I do decide to straighten them, they're riveted on...and it doesn't look like an easy job. Or is there someone here who does these??
Haven't had much time to play with it, other than to spray silicone on the throw offs. It'll be fun, and once it's dialed in, I bet it sounds great!
