You know it funny,i am in the same situation!! i bought a swinger kit and it sounds nice,the prior owner took off the wrap and sanded and varnished the natural beechwood,but that is starting to age now so i am going to use a matching color that was available back then,even though i love the ludwig mod orange wrap!! and a wrap with the high bond tape.I also managed to find someone by a freak of luck!! when i was going to look at a snare drum- that had like 40 of those plastic lugs in mint condition that i am going to use also!! They are impossible to find anywhere so i am taking it as a sign that these drums should get restored!!! It is an amazing sounding jazz kit regardless of price!!! and nothing can touch it for the price it will cost to restore it!!
