Hi All,
I recently acquired this WMP 5 x 14 and it appears the outermost layer of the wrap had been removed during a cleaning/restoration. At first I thought it might have been rewrapped as the WMP, though greenish like many 60s Rogers, had a very different look to it. Upon removing the heads I noticed someone had removed all the hardware, taped off both edges, and buffed it with something that took off the outermost layer of the exposed wrap. It also put minuscule, and seeming uniform, scratches over most of the shell. Both edges are original, look great, and I'm hoping the drum plays fine but I was just wondering what would commonly be used to do this to a wrap? The scratches left behind were tough to photograph but you will see the contrast at the shell edge where the outer most layer of the wrap is still present on the shell. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
