Picked these up last week, just getting started on them
White (WMP) Crowns, 20x14, 12x8, 5.5x14
Blue Cornets, 13x9, 16x14
Black (BMP) Raven, 12x8
Instead of a bag of cash in the bass drum, there were 40 year old blankets and clothes! Darn!

Cool stuff. I too just joined the club.
What are you planning - those WMPs are cool .... got alot of hardware to locate? Or is is just taken off in the photos?
Luckily they were complete w/ most of the hardware, they're stripped and ready for cleaning & polishing. There were no bass drum spurs, but, you're gonna laugh, a couple 8" nails fit in there fine! Missing the tom arm to fit on the rail, the tom has a slot mount
It may be a fool's errand but finding a matching floor tom would be nice
Took a look at your Stars, nice!
Those lugs on your Coronets are the fat Slinger-type ones. My friend and I could use some of those if you have any others laying around. Those are made by Pearl BTW.
Crown....recall an amazing blue pearl Crown kit I saw on here once - with 10 lug BD. Not sure who snagged that up (was FS)
What are your plans with all these?

I'm going to use the bass drum for a weekly gig, introduce it into the mix. I'll hang on to the matching Crown tom & snare.
I may keep the 16" Cornet floor tom to convert to a bass drum too, or use it w/ the Crowns
As far as the 12" Raven & 13" Cornet, I'm not sure, if anyone is interested in those two, let me know. Sorry Dj333 don't have any spare lugs
All shined up
You could give them a light sanding....then polish.with Novus #2....then #1...come out almost new...novus1 also wrks great on thé hoops, lugs..
Thanks Rims, you've got me thinking of sanding them now, even though I kinda like the yellowing. But, they'd look pretty good if I can bring them back
I used Novus on these, good stuff! I'll try #1 on the hoops & lugs too. The hardware was really bad in some spots. Everything was soaked in Dawn & polished w/ Nevr-Dull and Brasso.
And now I'm thinking I should have gone with a black gloss paint on the BD hoops instead of a matte, ha!
