Hi all, I recently purchased an old Rogers Holiday kit in semi-rough shape in the hopes of restoring it to a player's kit. My dad used to have this exact kit in this same color when he was a teenager and ended up giving it away to an orphanage since he was moving away for work. He's been talking about picking up the sticks again so I plan on giving it to him as a Christmas present.
Like I said, the kit's in pretty rough shape. The wrap's scratched quite a bit (some of it's missing on the floor tom), the insides of the shells were repainted and the lugs (a mix of beavertail and b&b) have some mild pitting, which I'm not too worried about. I ordered some beavertail lugs to match the rest of the kit and some floor tom mounts/legs from eBay so I got the hardware covered.
What I'm most worried about is the bottom part of the floor tom, it seems to have some moisture damage and the bearing edge is in pretty rough shape (it's basically just rounded over). I thought I had a picture of the bearing edge but I guess I didn't take one. Should I be worried about this?
Also, the bearing edges on the 12" and 13" toms are different so I'm guessing they're from different eras. The bearing edge on the 12" tom is a rounded-over edge, almost flat; whereas the edge on the 13" tom is a 30 degree edge, like the floor tom and bass drum. Is it safe to assume that the two toms are from different eras or did Rogers actually cut different bearing edges on the 12 and 13" toms?
Thanks for looking guys. Any info about the floor tom and bearing edges is appreciated.
Cheers,

PS. The sizes are 20x14, 12x8, 13x9 and 16x16.
