Sorry - Not Sold - Buyer backed out. Still available.

Wow! A 1979 Camco? Yes, sir! A 13", 14", 18" and 24" kick in gorgeous condition! This one-owner beast was very well taken care of and it shows. Come in, hop on and take her for a spin! I have a feeling these won't be here very long.��

$1300 with CB nylon cases.

This in name is Camco, but technically is a Tama set. If I'm not mistaken ( might not be 100% either ) when Camco dissolved Tama bought the rights for the name, DW bought the rights to the hardware as well as the left over shells, etc... Hence DW has the exact same Camco lug, where as on this set, it's slightly different.

The company "Camco" dissolved in 1977. Hoshino (parent of Tama) bought the name. Used the same shells (Jaspers - left overs from the LA plant) and developed and marketed the drum. The hardware (mounting, etc.) is all Tama.

DW actually used their own shells (then eventually buying some from Keller).

So I guess you could call it a Mustang or call it a Ford.
