    Condition Description: EXC - excellent condition, all original with no extra holes or modifications. Original White Marine Pearl wrap is very clean with minimal fading and no cracks, splits, or damages. All nickel plated hardware (4 lug 6" 5 lug 8"), original tension rods, and rims clean and shiny with no damages. Shells are good, white paint appears original, re-rings tight, edges clean. Inner ply on one re-ring just short from connecting, looks like factory defect, but shells are sound, still fairly round and heads tight but good fit. Heads have no holes or splits. Edge on one has the beginning of some separation (see last pic) but this part is covered by the rim, and does not seem to affect tunability. Great sounding still usable vintage set of bongos
