then sell the 70's one. Just a thought....the floor tom looks to be a 66 or a 67

Thanks for the link! I have every possible word combination on a saved search on eBay (or so I thought), but I missed that one. Consider it watched.

The wrap on the 16 looks suspect to me; when you feel like it, pull the head & look at the bearing edge--the wrap should start between the wood veneers. It's hard to describe, but you'll know it when you see it. compare it to your rack tom--I'm sure that one's all original. nice score....marko

Well, I did. Thanks for the heads up. I think I got a good price, but the condition of the drum in that auction was suspect. I'm hoping that with what it takes to restore the eBay floor tom, I can probably sell the one I have now and maybe break even or at least for a small loss.

More posts and pictures will come as I (slowly) progress on this project. Thanks for the help so far, everyone.
