So I tried to sell this but decided to keep it after playing it. It has a beautiful sound even on ancient pads.
It's a Satin Silver 1933 Buescher New Aristocrat with the #3 Neck. At some point someone took the snaps out of the key cups. BUMMER. I play a Large Chamber Caravan and am a Rascher Fan so this is right up my alley in terms of tonal concept.
Here's My plan
Full Overhaul using White Roo pads (I like the white roos)
Custom Size Metal Dome Resonators to closely match the size of the original Snap Resonators
Although not original this would be me close.
I'm sure this is a money losing situation but I really want to experience the whole "Vintage Buescher" thing. If any tech has suggestions - or any set-up tips - please let me know.
