Just a few pix to show what a little elbow grease and some good polish can do to my recent swap meet find. Paid $80.00 for the snare, 5 bucks for polish and my labor has no price when I'm bored. Going to put her up on the Ebay auction block in the future

Is it complete? Does it have the snare frame? Wanna work out a deal? or trade?

Yes it's all complete and original. There is some minor pitting, barely visible unless you're right on top of it. Original snares, Rogers heads top and bottom, which in my opinion need replacing. A deal huh? What do you have in mind?

Thanks O-lugs. This is my second Dynasonic. My first one is a spitting image of this one. Next on my plate is my 50's Radio King. It originally had green sparkle, but very faded. It's now just a smooth shell and ready for wrapping....

Amazing how you can get a great deal from someone too lazy to clean and polish the drums they are selling?

Nice job.

Thanks Amos, and you're right. If it looks like doo-doo it usually sells like it. My only complaint is the guy who sold it to me bought it earlier in the day for $35.00. I walked right past it earlier and didn't even see it...
