The choice is CLEAR with this vistalite! Overall, the kit is in great shape. Has your normal wear from a kit of the 70s but I’d say lighter wear - some blemishes and scratches but nothing major. All the hardware, lugs, t-rods/caws, badges, etc is original minus the spur mounts and the spurs. The spurs and mounts are original 1970s Ludwig but this kit was originally drilled for the large spurs. This particular kit had the smaller curved spurs and mounts replaced with those; however, no extra holes were drilled. The kick drum badge has a little lift but intact. The tension bolt for the center post is not original to the kit but the correct threading. The original internal mufflers are present and function as should. There is one lug that is missing the interior gasket but it functions without it, just a detail to be noted. Additionally, there is a surface crack under one lug on the 13” as well - it does not go all the way through shell however.
Other than that, kits sounds & looks great! Email with any questions.
