Just saw a Sonor '60's period hi-hat for $25 on Craigslist. Trouble is it's 2 hours away in Toronto!

Lots of times I drive 2 hours each way for gigs. $25? Get in the car!
Lots of times I drive 2 hours for drums DOH
I got lucky here. Someone I know in Toronto is coming for a visit and will pick up the hi hat. You're right. It's worth the drive to pick up nice vintage gear!!Cool Dude
Kevins, drum dad,I obtained the veneer locally at a wood products specialty place called A & Mwood products in Cambridge, Ontario. The paper-backed veneer is the easiest to work with and is less expensive than thicker veneer.This site may be helpful;http://www.veneersupplies.com/default.php?cPath=51:DAll three shells are ready to go for piercing out the existing holes for hardware...this after 4 coats of Minwax wipe-on polyurethane. The teardrop lugs are pretty dirty items and will require a lot of elbow grease. They are now soaking in soapy water.Veneer may not be the way to go for most vintage kits, but is suitable for these Sonor shells as the Rosewood is a period wrap.More to come.....
Is that a Tama Camco kit in the background?
Ludwig -Dude,
Yep, it's a vintage LA "Tamco" Camco kit circa 1978, '79
