Hey Guys; This has been in the classifieds for about a week now. Originally asking $150, just brought it down to $100. I've offered him $50, thinking it would be a fun, 'get my feet wet' restoration project, but he claims he's firm at $100. Listed as a 50s, WFL 20" kick, (did they even make 20" kicks?) painted shell, with about eight holes, with non original spurs, and possibly not original hoops. Any opinions? Thanks.

There is at least $200 in parts on it.....so....I would grab,if I were you......
never know,you may need the parts "down the road" too........
See if he will sell that big red oriental rug cheap too.........I dig em!
That's what I was thinking. The hardware doesn't look too bad from the pics, but I'm also a 20" fan, if the shell's not too bad. Question is whether it'd be worth the cost of a proper re-wrap... though if I could track down a couple of cheap toms in rough shape...

It's hardly ever worth the cost of a re-wrap...
wrap cost $$$, then,you need someone to apply it properly ($$),then,you de-valued it by re-wrapping,and most people won't touch a re-wrap!
Lose/lose situation!
Considered that also. When is a re-wrap realistic? Seems the best case scenario is to find original shells with original wrap and no extra holes, ($$$). What about all those poor vintage shells that have been violated? What is to become of them? Players I guess, but what about the true virgins? Just dust and polish?

that would make a great project drum. looks like it has the hole on top for the dissappearing cymbal mount. those are really neat i think.
