Hey everybody!
Saw these advertised locally by THE ORIGINAL OWNER, no less. He bought them in 1972.
I had never seen a double kick setup for Star before, but after searching the 1972 catalogue, there they were! And this guy had all of the original hardware too.
When I went to see them I thought they may have been a re-wrap, but again, in the 1972 catalogue, the very last colour choice on the page of choices is Jet Black, which these are.... a kind of a semi-gloss euro-black look.
It has the only double tom holder stand I have seen so far, and a 10-lug, King Beat snare....heavy... and original to the kit!
SO.... I bought 'em.... with the two zildjian cymbals pictured, not the hats.
The only real problem is the original owner, in his youth, removed the Star badges!!! Just like the recent thread on the forum, he regretted doing it, and he made some replica Tama badges for the kit, which is why you see them in the pics. So I am on the hunt for original badges, but I need 5! Might take awhile....
Just thought you would want to see them.... I'm excited to start cleaning and detailing.
