Conga ID Help

[Madlatin]

I am going to take a look at this drum tommorow. It's not far from where I live. The guy said it is solid with no cracks....31" tall mabe 10 or 11" head. I can't recall seeing any drum with this hardware (side plates) on it. Can anyone help ID it

Here I am back in 1980 playing on the best set of Mexican congas I ever played or had, 'hand made' by Luis Zamora .All the brackets were solid brass as well as the hoop and the the tuning lugs and if you look real close u will see that the tuning lugs are actually completely closed and would never strip, or have to replace your tunings hooks ...they also had built in legs and the inside of them were burnt.. they sounded great..I eventually sold them to the Caribbean jazz fusion singer Jon Lucien..if u have zoom capabilities for the photo chek out the lugs...and the brass brackets were at least a 1/4 of an inch thick too..and heavy..(never saw another set like them to this day and I had originally bought them literally 15 minutes before opening night at the Fiesta Palace hotel in Mexico city, because there was no backline for me..i paid on the spot as they were delivered to me by Luis Zamora 350 bucks for them back in 1975) The drum in the middle is a Gon Bop quinto ...

So, I bought the drum. It is about 31" tall and has an 11" head. Thanks BNB for posting the link back to more info. The guy I bought it from said it had no badge on it but, I found on the side it does read TEO-DOR and under that it reads Manilla. Good to know the maker of it too, Thanks Dario!....... So, the drum is in good shape. Very solid and holding together well. There is an alma in the top (made out of wood). All of the hardware is made pretty good and should be fine with clean up. Skin looks like it could be original. I think i'll just clean it up a little and leave it as-is for now. Thanks again for the ID help and info everyone.
