Hi everyone,
I was lucky enough to pick up a set of Musicaid SDSV pads a couple of months ago for a very reasonable price! I've been meaning to post about this for a while but I've been very busy. I've now added pictures of these to the photos section of the group:

These are among the 20 or so wooden sets that were created for trade shows back in the early 80s and the bass drum has the sunburst finish added my the man himself!
As you can see, one of the pads has some plastic squares on the underside which I assume are for hanging for display. One pad has a metallic blue finish on the playing surface, I took this apart and you can see it has a speaker inside which Wolfgang mentioned on his blog a while back.
I've tried to clean these up as best I can but there is still work to be done. I haven't had a chance to test them yet but its great to see another set of these has survived the past 35 years!
Cheers
Chris
