Update: I listed the entire kit at $700 online, with full disclosure of the mods that were made. Found a guy that has 5 Slingerland kits and loves restoring them. After he pointed out some of the hardware being not original and a few other things, we settled on $620. It went to the right home! We also found one date: March 62
Appreciate everyone's responses. Glad it found its way to a good owner who will restore it properly. Told him to send pics when he is finished! I have a mid 60's Ludwig that is period correct that remains my go to kit. Will post some pics of that sometime soon.
Y'all have a great week.
