I posted my old Black Elite on here about a year ago and haven't been able to play around much with cleaning up old gear since then. However, this one caught my eye on Ebay and I figured I'd bring it back to life a bit.

Here's a couple pictures of what it looks like now:

First L&S Drummers Equipment drum I've come across... Guess that puts it in the very narrow period of time where that company existed in the 30's. I've got to slap a bottom head on it and get the wires tuned up so I can see how she sounds. Incidentally I do all my metal polishing with Autosol... If you've never tried it, do.
