Came across this kit in a Kijiji deal about 4 years ago. Kit was found all together in an upstairs room .
When I first saw it, I knew it was a good find! All the parts were there down to the factory bags for the drum key and hex wrench. The Black Laquer finish is excellent for all three shells, badges tight and right and in sequence with the January 1967 date stamps. Even the Acrolite was in sequence with the kit! All original heads are there too. Check out the catalog pic showing the same kit as offered!
It included the original Paiste crash and hi-hats, spur-lock hi-hat stand, bass ride-cymbal stand, floor cymbal stand, (not pictured) Speed-Master pedal, wood block/cow bell holder, spring-design stick holder and brushes. The coolest part was the red vinyl stool. the only thing missing was one of the 20" hoops. I have found a replacement though.
I finally got around last week to taking it all apart and polishing the chrome which has no pitting anywhere except on a few of the Acrolite lugs but only minor. Just about have it all back together. When it's all set up I will post more picks.
