If it plays properly don't do a thing! As you talk about the old time sound, you are getting a lot of that from the older head, and replacing it with a new skin head is pointless, and very possibly detremental to the sound you love.
All the best from Bill. :D

I agree with every word from Mr. Bufo Bill.
Don't "fix-it" if it ain't broke.
What you got there is a standard no-frills player. Dat's OK.
Have Fun!
PS~ I've got an old Slingerland and it works jes fine. All original. Played it on my last CD.
