I finally found a WMP Radio King floor tom I could afford and the clean up has begun. It looks like it spent many years as a heavy smoker as it had almost turned white marine brown. So far I have cleaned it and polished with Novus 3 and then 2. In some ways it's a shame to clean away all that history (possibly built up in smokey bars over the years) but i need it to match my kit.
The nickel hardware is next when i get back home in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to add it to my kit and it appears to be about the right era as the bass, snare and 12" tom that originally came together. The bottom hoop in the first photo (from seller) is engraved but has the holes rather than clips so maybe slightly later production? The top hoop is a later sticksaver and will end up on the bottom until something more appropriate shows up.
