Hey there all. My name is John and I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I am not a huge vintage guy, but they seem to find their way into my collection often. I am currently restoring my father's 1955 Slingerland Radio King Windsor Ensemble. So, I am looking for some calf and hardware items.

I am a huge Slingerland nut and have a number of sets including a 90's Artist Custom and a Conway Studio King. I also have a strange prototype Rogers kit from the early 60's. It has experimental lugs and odd "back of the catalog" hardware installed. I posted it on another forum and all the experts there deemed it to be a rare Rogers. The sound is huge! I will post pics as I get them in. Thanks everyone.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Welcome! And we simply LOVE pictures around here, especially when it is one-off factory stuff!
