60's Majestic Deluxe project

Posts: 6 Threads: 2

I recently purchased a 60's Majestic Deluxe kit in orange sparkle off ebay. All I'm missing are the tension rods(and washers) for the bottom lugs for the 14" floor tom. I'm completely new to the vintage MIJ drum world, and have now realized what I've gotten myself into! However, since it's very close to being a complete, all original kit, I feel compelled to take this final step and find these missing tension rods! I'm sure you all know they are an odd size and/or thread type, so they don't have them at the local drum shops. Any info on how to find these would be much appreciated. Or, if by some stroke of luck someone happens to own them and would like to sell them, I would buy them today! Please help!

Welcome to VDF! You've come to the right place to find parts....if they're available. I'm sure some of the MIJ collectors can help.

Thanks. I'm glad I accidentally stumbled into this world of vintage drums.

I forgot to mention I'm missing the bottom hoop to the 14" floor tom as well. I figure I can easily find a replacement for that, but since there may be someone here that has an actual matching part, I might as well keep it original. (Or as close as possible).

Just in case it's not clear in the original post. I need the tension rods, washers, and hoop for the bottom of a 14" floor tom that belongs to my 60's era Majestic Deluxe kit. Thanks again! Looking forward to hearing from the MIJ drum gurus out there. Any info is helpful.

On the T-rods that you need.They are the odd size metric thread.Do you need 6 of them or 8?..How long are they end to end? They could be 2 3/4" long or 3" long...I have these in stock.As far as the rim i dont have any that would match.Do you have any photos of the set?....Mikey

They're 3" end to end. I need 8 of them. I don't have any pictures of the kit yet, but I could easily post them if need be. If you take Paypal, I'd gladly purchase the 8 T rods. How much do they cost? Thanks for the reply.

I went to the local pro shop and bought some used t rods and

Inserts. It was very easy and I robbed a top hoop off the

The snare that was not going to restore. The odd sized t rods

Will not be missed.
