Hi guys. Been off the radar in recent months lurking from time to time. With the southern PA humidity, I'm heading indoors and ready for a project. Would like to return these 2 snares to decent working/displaying order. Found in a back closet in a school where my daughter teaches music, I'd like to fix them up in a way to be displayed as vintage drums in the school's trophy cases.
Having steered me thru my first massive sling set rehab a year ago, I'm coming here firstly for any and all comments before I get started. Obvious questions: Zoomatic snare strainer or something else? What to do with wood finish (or what's left of it) and what era. I didn't do too good with the serial #. The badge on the other snare was cut off. Maybe safe to presume they were bought about the same time?
Always a pleasure to hear from you guys who want to take the time. So, lay it on me!!! Good or bad, say it all! Dean
