This is a 1967 Kent kit I finish cleaning up last night. When I got it the tom was covered in contact paper and the bass was all sorts of messed up. I found the missing lugs, cleaned everything up and I think it turned out pretty good. I really should have taken a few 'before' photos. Make sure you check out the bass drum hoops. They are quite different.
Im still looking for an original shell mount cymbal stand ...
