THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE 1963 OBP FLOOR TOM WITH ALL THE CORRECT POINTS FOR RINGO'S #1 KIT
MINUS
THE HARDWARE BEING NICKEL ~ NOTE THE PRE-SERIAL BADGE IS CENTERED RATHER THAN BEING DRILLED IN THE UPPER 3rd OF THE TOM. TOM HAS BEEN FULLY DETAILED AND IS IN STELLAR COLLECTOR CONDITION. SOUNDING FANTASTIC ON TOP OF THAT IS SIMPLY ICING ON THE CAKE.
GOOD BLOODY LUCK FINDING ANOTHER
1963 14x14" OBP FT!!!

Original red muffler. Original NOB hoops in VERY GOOD condition. Hardware in VERY GOOD condition with some "foggy" tarnish and light pitting and wear consistent with a drum being played, and for being over 56 years old.
Wrap excellent with few light nicks & scratches remaining with NEAR-ZERO to ZERO FADING.
Bearing edges are clean & the drum is in the round. THE WRAP FOLLOWS THE SEAM INTO THE SCARF JOINT. Original floor tom legs are CHROME.
Nickel hardware (NOB) has been
cleaned & polished with Cape Cod Clothes. Hardware is in VERY GOOD condition. Tension rods have wear (I do not detail rods). The bottom hoop has more wear including some heavier tarnish.
The wrap has been polished with NOVUS 1 & 2 and it is extremely smooth. A few light scratches and nicks remain that couldn't be buffed out.
