Should I grab these Tama's?

Nothing special here but I like them.

Some time ago I've sold a similar kit (Tama Swing Star) for almost the same price, but including the original double tom holder for the bass drum.

I don't know how hard (and costy) it's in USA to find it - but I wouldn't pay more than max. US$ 90 in this case.

NB: that kit is from the 1970's - not 60's.

Yeah but it's bright yellow!! FWIW those Swingstars are great drums. If I wanted them I'd probably pay $150 but you'd need what looks like a bass drum hoop and claws and tension rods. Plus the tom mount. But I make bad decisions often. Let us know what you do.

Well, I bought them. 22,12,13,16. Red Badge Swingstars. Bass SN# is 82-19245. Rest are 82-19104,19158,19178.

Very minor pitting, some cracks in the wrap. Mostly just dirty. Quick clean up on one of the toms in picture 2. They sound darn nice even in their state of neglect.

$80.00 USD. Rare prototype chain drive Speed King pedal and bungie cord special tom rack included :-). Thought the bike chain patch to the SK was clever.

Need two bass lugs, 10 claws/T handles and the dual tom mount if anyone has such for sale. Thanks!
