EDIT: The shell pack sold. See new post for updated pricing on the remaining items for sale.
Please see my photobucket site for an epic slideshow of this kit:
This is an amazing kit... a rare, rare find.
It's a One Owner Kit. He bought it new in '66, played it in high school for two years, then stored it away until now. It's barely seen any sun, and there is minimal to no fade in the wrap. Note the absence of pitting on the Supra! Note the kick hoops, in perfect round, some touchup paint applied, inlays are in mint condition no fade. Nicest hoops I've seen on a vintage Ludwig, Period. The chrome all around is stunning. No rust at all. Hard to even find any pitting on the chrome. You won't find chrome this nice on a vintage kit, unless it's a collectors grade. Check the photos, as seeing is believing.
All drums are WMP with white resacote and date to 1966. There are no extra holes anywhere...all the hardware, lugs, etc are original.
All the hardware is in stunning condition, including the tom mount post, which locks in tight to kick and holds the toms amazingly stable. Very tight and NEW feeling.
There are some flakes on the interior resacote paint of the kick drum and on the bottom of the toms from when the original owner stored them without the bottom heads on. In general the interiors are fine, just not stunning like the wrap, chrome, and hardware is. Someone could easily touchup the interior with the restorer-preferred Benjamin Moore paint, but I wanted to leave it how I found it.
Hollywood Kit:
12" 273832 date stamp May 9th, 1966. White baseball bat muffler. Excellent condition. Tom Bracket hole is in perfect shape, sturdy.
13" 260555 no date stamp . White Baseball bat muffler . Excellent condition. Tom bracket hole is in perfect shape, sturdy.
16" 261878 no stamp, interior has factory marking in black crayon ("J" w/ underscore) White baseball bat muffler. Immaculate condition all around. Leg brackets look stunning, mint even, if not for two missing wing screws (edit: wing screws are not missing, just relocated to the tom brackets)..
22" 261906 no date stamp. Some scratches on interior (see photos), wrap is just astounding! NO fade on this kick drum! Usually kicks get nailed by UV rays, but not this one! Leg brackets and legs are stunning, again, near mint hardware. Tom mount on kick is cleaner than any I've ever seen.
