I've decided to buy them, made a deal and will pick them up this weekend. I'm told the bearing edge on the exposed side of the bass drum will bear a re-cut. Problem for me is that these old kits usually have the vintage round-over. I'm only set up to cut a double 45. Will it hurt the value for me to re-cut to a modern edge style?
Use 150, then 220 grit and re-do the edges by hand. You'll get much better results. If there is damage, I usually use Plastic Wood to fill them, wait a day then carefully sand them back to round-over.
