Well, here is how the ride tom looks after a disassembly, polishing of all the hardware, and using Novus on the wrap.. This photo does not do it justice! It looks so much better in real life...cheap camera!

By the way, I found the date inside , it was faint, but it said Sept. 27, 1961 which was the same date that is on the inside of the bass drum.....Now on to the BD and work on it....that will take some real time....
