anybody interested in purchasing these timbales??..they really sound great!...the skins have been on these drums for over 20 years and never need to be tuned...the cascara is dry sounding..and the Brass is solid,literally...'JC' Johnny Conga

JC, I have eyed those shells since you showed them to me. I have the replacement parts ! the Slingerland leg / bell post castings that fit the holes in the shell, But I'd never replace that bell post system, see how it dents the shells & leaves an impression of the part ? But These are the heavy Brass shells, not the thinner ones that Slingerland changed to. These are as heavy gauged as Leedy but are a shallower shell. I want to do a complete restore on them, re roll the shells to make the more perfect round, do some body work on the dings & dents , in prep for being media blasted & re laquered. I would remove the galvanized zinc plating from rims, true them up to be flat level, re bevel the edges for the sticking egdes. Fill all the holes w/ Brass and rebuild the timbale mount etc. YOU wanna trade some thing ? You know I am the President of the Broke Assed Congueros Foundation ! ? lol I have a mahogany GB quinto ? The match is on sale at Trading musician * I'd hate to see some bozo buy them if he cannot fix or repair or restore them.
