Hi all. New member from Norway here. I've had a few vintage kits in my time and still have my 1955 Slingerlands but sold my 68 champagne sparkle and my 69 silver sparkle Luwigs when I bought my Ludwig Legacy Classics a few years back. I also have a Yamaha PHX kit but this post is about my recent find... An LA badge walnut Camco kit. It has 22x14 kick and 12x8, 13x9 and 16x16 toms. It came with a 1965 Supraphonic and Zildjian A thin 14" hats, 20" and 16" thin rides. I bought it from a widow whose late husband was very fond of drummin.
I have attached a couple of pics of the toms and the serial# which is the same on all drums. Since Camcokits are very rare over here in Norway I know very little about them apart from what I've found online and in this great forum. Any idea which year they're from?
Are they worth hanging on to? I have never played a Camco kit before so I'm a bit excited here... Should I restore them or leav'em like they came? Any info and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
