[COLOR="DarkRed"]Man, those are sweet...did you have to rehab 'em, or were they just kept well ???[/COLOR]

Sweet is right. And perfect, and beautiful, andCool1

They were covered in at least 1/8" of dust and I could not even tell what color they were.........

I had traded sight unseen for them in hopes of getting the snare into working order. But when I carefully wiped the dust from a small area and saw the finish, I was sure they would all clean up. There was no rust at all on them just the protective layer of years and years of dust.

I did have to acquire some parts, all of which are original era parts except the hoops which I had made and went so far as to have period correct inlay cut to complete the project.

freakin' beautiful! Wow!

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Y'know what I love about the old Slingy Glitters ? If they were kept in decent care, their fade is so nice and rich. Old blues, reds, purples...they just fade dark and deep, really luscious looking with age....

Nice job.[/COLOR]

Great looking set. Might I ask if it was a deal when you purchased it?

Thanks for the kind words. I got a fair shake on the trade I made for them.

The main investment was time on research for the correct parts and lots of detailing. Of course that comes with the territory.
