I guess it depends on the asking price! This is the first complete Series II kit I've seen. We all know it was an R&D and Marketing disaster! If the price was really cheap, I'd display it as "what not to design/build"!! LoLoLoLo

I believe one of our members had a separate tom for sale on eBay some time ago.

Was it plastic or paper composition?

Is this Craig Krampf back in the day? Those look horrible. They look like the "toy" sets you could get in the JC Penney catalogs. What the heck was Rogers thinking? Seriously? No one at the company thought this was a bad idea?

However, I think the cymbal stands are interesting. If they were plastic or aluminum, I bet they were REALLY light. I wonder if anyone has ever used one? They look like camera tripods!

I always wondered why nobody ever tried to make cymbal stands that were miniature versions of loudspeaker stands? Those are massive stands yet are extremely lightweight and they hold heavy speakers. Surely someone could scale down the stand to an appropriate size for cymbals. That would be very interesting. I bet they would super lightweight!
