Green Vistalite Big Beat w/Matching 10 Lug Snare Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Loading...

Just wanna let the vintage drum forum dudes know that I have acquired a very nice green Vistalite kit. Its a "Big Beat" kit (22/12/13/16 with matching 10 lug snare).

The kit has all original everything (including heads) and looks to never have been taken apart. I am disassembling and carefully cleaning the whole kit as it is dusty and dirty etc. Ive restored a handful of Vistalite kits, so I am pretty good at it. It has been cased most of it's life since it was played for a few years in the 70's and I purchased it from the original owner so it doesn't need much. It is going to be amazing when it is done. Everything is there. Im not going to re-paint the hoops (they have a couple paint chips out but the inlays are complete and in beautiful shape). Ill leave that up to the new owner to decide if they want to do something with them or leave them original.

It also has the original Atlas hardware package including throne (and Avedis Zildjian cymbals) with it except for the hi hat stand, which I am tracking down. I don't know exactly where or how I am going to sell it or for how much, but I just thought I would mention it on here incase someone has been dying for a kit like this. Ill be reasonable on the price, but I won't know the exact asking price until I get everything cleaned up and pictures taken. Im also into partial trades and etc.

Please contact me if you have any interest in this kit. Ill shoot pics and get em to you asap. Thanks!

And it also includes the original wrench and key to top it off. Looks like the wrench spent some time in pockets. Didn't bother to wipe either down...they could be nicer with a good soak for sure.
