So I was recently speaking with my ex. The one whose father had given me my 1950's Radio King about ten years ago while me and her were together. Me being me, I actually asked about the drums, and that if he ever needed anything done with them that I would be more than glad to help. Be it with a repair, to help sell them, any help I could give. She then informed me that recently they had discovered that the basement had flooded. Since they never use it, it remained unknown for an undisclosed amount of time. Needless to say everything down there was covered in black mold and the drums are more than likely, sadly long gone. I know they are just drums, but this guy had a perfect set of Radio Kings. I saw them once, they were absolutely perfect. No sun damage, no hardware rust, this guy obviously cherished them and kept them nice. He even had them a couple feet off the ground, but my guess is when the basement was full of water, moisture finds a way, and will generally win. I'm holding hope that maybe some of them had been salvaged, but doubtful. Breaks my heart to hear things like this. Drums aside all of those possessions and memories are gone. One and only set the guy ever owned, had it since the 60's.......:(
