Hey guys hows everybody doing? This is my first post on this awesome forum.
I was wondering if some of you camco guys could help me out with a few questions on getting this little diamond in the rough my dad found for me up and running.
What he found is what I believe is a 65-70 camco gold moire wrap kit. I believe it is the advanced modernaire kit from what I could tell from the catalogs on here.
The wrap is in pretty good shape with a few scratches here and there but thats not what im concerned about. Im looking for camco parts to try and restore the kit to its original shape. From what I can tell from looking is that camco parts are almost impossible to find and when they are found youre gonna need to open your wallet.
What im looking for is:
A snare throw off with the round aristocrat lug style.
Both bottom rims for the 12 inch toms which I believe are 6 lug style and the lug screws.
A bottom rim for the 16 inch floor tom I believe is 8 lug and the lug screws.
A bass drum hoop in the gold moire finish(this will be probally impossible to find) and the claws for one side to go with it.
Im sure Im not going to find any of these original parts in the near future but I was wondering if anyone could help me out with getting aftermarket look a like parts or older vintage parts that look similar to camcos hardware. I have looked at older sling rims and they look pretty similar in style and shape. I just want to get the kit up and running so I can play and hear these beautiful drums.
If anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction I would be very very happy.
thanks guys
