I was really quite surprised to win this one. There were no bids, so I put in a snipe with 5 seconds remaining, but no one else showed up. It's on the way to me now, should clean up nicely.
Since I have been unable to find either a Presto or Speedway strainer, I bought 2 drums with original strainers instead. I have made it my personal mission to replicate both types.
Stay tuned... may take some time (failure is an option).

AK Drums already does that, they are dead-on reproductions.

My modest collection includes 4 Leedy snares of this era. 2 have working strainers and the other 2 have no strainer. AK's work is outstanding, but the cost of one reproduction presto (including shipping from Italy) is nearly what I spent on this drum. Besides, I like to tinker...

Ok, tinker away!
