Well I think I found a tom tonight. Unfortunately I kinda got burned in the process! Bought this 13" WFL tom tonight. The guy said he got it really cheap and wasnt a collector or that interested in it and if I wanted to buy it from him I could. He said it was in good shape and that the lugs and hoops were there. He said it didn't have any wrap on it though. He said he covered it with some shelving paper just to have something on it but it wasnt glued down just wrapped around it. When I showed up to get it the stamp date said 1956 on it. There was no badge but the inside looked good to me. I didn't really do much else other than pay him $40 for it. It didn't have the lugs I was hoping for but just the same I figured for $40 it was worth taking home this shell. Got home took it apart and found this. LIVE AND LEARN!!! At least the lugs look really good on this drum.
Is the wood and seem fixable? I am not as concerned with the holes where the dampener goes. Can anyone help direct me?
