I have posted other threads about my vistalite kit... I have four concert toms at the time. I found a 12" amber vistalite tom with resonating head for 300 including shipping. Is this a good deal? I would like to add at least one tom with a resonating head to my kit. I figure I could set my kit up two or three different ways. The badge number is 1183504. Advice?

Price sounds fair for what it is, Flossie. It wouldn't be 'Mission Impossible' money-wise to add lugs, hoops and heads to as many of the concert toms as you like. All of your concert toms already have the bearing edges cut on the reso side. If you, or a friend, or someone in the family is not handy with tools, the shells could be sent to a company like, Precision Drum Co. to have them drilled for a set of lugs. Getting the lugs you'll need will be no problem. You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting somebody selling Ludwig classic lugs.
It's an honest price for the amber rack tom... if you need it, go for it.

Oh good! Thank you so much :) I went ahead and bought the tom because I'm finding it hard to find amber orphan toms and I know that acrylics are getting popular again so I didn't want to miss a chance on it.
I think what I may do... after thinking about this a lot is leave the concert toms as is ( don't want to chance messing with their value or would it? ). I figure I could set up the kit with the concert toms or without using my 12" tom and my 18" floor tom.
