Tama Superstar 18" x 16" Floor Tom 1981 Birch Blonde Super Maple

Description

This is a Tama Superstar 18" x 16" (18" Head Diameter x 16" Shell Depth) Floor Tom from the 80's (1981) Serial # 121078, color is Super Maple (Yellowish Blonde) with a Gloss finish, looks somewhat brighter and glossier in person compared to the pics. 18" Head Diameter x 16" Shell Depth. All Birch shell (in spite of color name). This drum came to me 3 years ago to build a kit that never happened, sat in its case all this time. All of the original lug screws and leg bracket screws were rusty, I have just replaced them all with brand new Tama-spec screws and washers obtained by a Tama 'insider'. All other parts are all original. Lugs and leg brackets look decent, but still a bit dirty. The rims show spotty rust in places. The legs show a little rust in places, and previous owner put duct tape around each leg, I took most of the tape off 1 leg, still has residue on it. There is a hard to read factory stamp on inside of shell (pic 13). There are 2 different spots along the bottom bearing edge showing ply separation , head still goes on easily and sounds normal. There are clear Remo Pinstripe heads on both top and bottom, they look rather old and well worn, but sounded good when tuned up.
