Restoration 1984 Phaser Eleven,Question Last viewed: 21 seconds ago

Posts: 232 Threads: 32

This is a set of 1984 Phaser Eleven ordered from the 75th anniversary edition catalogue. All drums have the larger keystone badges with Chicago Drum co. logo. Color is Wine silk. It took a very long time and is my first attempt at restorations. The first 4 pictures are before restoration others are after. I have had some issues about deep scratches and some seam problems. I glued the seams with crazy glue and they seem ok. The scratches are another story altogether. There are not many but I would like to try smoothing them out. My question is what method does everyone use to restore the scratches. I,ve tried using touch up wax for autos among other things. I hope these pictures come thru.

Wow! one huge set of drums... must be fun to do the Billy Cobham around the toms... Not cleaning that is! That probably "seamed" like work after the first few drums!

In regards to the scratches in the finish, there is not much you can do with wrapped drums.. Plus that finish probably will not be as forgiving as a pearl or something that can hide some imperfections.

You have a lot of options with those drums.
