I found this on sleazebay.
My MIJ "Olympian" (not to be confused with "Olympic"-Made by Premier/England) bass drum has this same exact mounting plate shown attached to the shell, but is missing the post/long tube with the "baseball bat" apparatus. The curious thing is, my rack tom has the exact same mounting plate on it as well. That means the tom post/arm would be the exact same diameter as the one shown with the baseball bat.
Do you think a post/tube of that same size would fit on the open end of the baseball bat apparatus? It seems like whatever is supposed to fit in there has a smaller tube diameter to me.
Anyone else see this mount style before? Can anyone provide photos of what the arm/tube is supposed to look like that supports the actual tom (again, the mounting plate is exactly the same on the tom, so it stands to reason that the tube diameter of the actual tom arm should be the same as what's shown on the long tube baseball bat part).
Thanks!
