Gang,
I've acquired a Slingerland Artist Series "bare shell" (well, it has the wrap on it) - 5.5 x 14 in blue sparkle - and now need to get all the rest of the hardware for it.
It's mid-60s (black and gold badge) and the wrap seam is still nice and tight.
I've built snares from scratch before - but need to find a source for the vintage hardware: lugs, tension rods, hoops, strainer, butt-plate - ideally would like to put the muffler back in and use a vintage set of snares too.
Besides "lurk E-Bay until the cows come home", any other suggestions/sources for what is, effectively, a "complete hardware kit"?
Oh yea - I'll be using it with my mid-70s Slingy 5-piece: http://kestrou.com/images/slingset1.jpg :)
