Camco snare buyer beware Last viewed: 28 minutes ago

[ame]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-early-60s-Illinois-Camco-snare-drum-WMP-counterhoops-original-fine-/171414376074?pt=Vintgae_Drums_Percussion&hash=item27e917ce8a[/ame]

I bought this one and returned it. The seller did not list the issues but I will:

1. Cracked wrap under one lug

2. Cracked wrap on one panel

3. Interior paint cracking all around the inside of the shell

Seller took back and refunded me but I wanted to warn anyone else buying it as it looks like the seller did not update their info.

I would have suggested a new price and kept it. These are not being made any more . . .

I already had two when this snare showed up. Both are in mint condition.

Troutstudio, I heard the demo of the LA era Camco snare drum you brought back to life on YouTube and posted pictures of the neglected snare here on the forum.

Even with all the issues including extra holes that snare drum sounded great! Hats off to you! I bet the owner will treasure it now...

I know would even with some extra holes.

They not only don't make them any longer, they can't even come close to duplicating them.

Thanks. They are very rare here in Australia. I've had quite a few offers for that drum, but there's no way he would sell. Very articulate drum.
