Nice drum!
Where you did you spy this one? Beyond the obvious clean-up, any major issues. May we see more pics of the inside of the shell?

you not going to believe this.. but i picked this up here on the forum!
Seemed like it was a post that went unnoticed.

It had an extra hole - but it has been filled with a dowel and correct wrap on top. it is actually in the first photo.. can you find waldo?

[kellyj]

yep, that's the real thing! Nice looking Dynasonic shell with great aging.What is the serial number?

[optikdrummer]

Yeah! I'm soo excited!! I just got it.
I pulled the heads, and you cant even see any fading! Super clean wrap.

Serial: 16130 - i think its like a 68. 69.?

[kellyj]

I believe that makes it a Dayton drum.
It will be helpful to get Tommyp in on this if he likes. Tommy is the recognized Rogers Dynasonic expert here on the forum...Tommyp is owner of I think 4 wood dynas.

Tommyp Are you out there? Help2

Hey kellyj!...

The serial number of #16130 does indeed date this drum at 1968.. ( right in there on your guess optikdrummer! ) .. and of course makes it a Dayton. Very nice Dynasonic, and even moreso in that it's a 61/2 wood! Enjoy!

You did amazingly well. I have a very clear recollection of one of those going on eBay about 4 years ago for $5000. I kid you not.

[optikdrummer]

Thanks! Yeah.. I only paid a fraction of that.. approx (1/5) - :)

Im hoping to have all of the correct parts by the end of next week. She is going to glow!

nice drum!
:D

[optikdrummer]

Here is an update! I'm still looking for all the correct tension rods. I haven't cleaned anything yet, but here she is!

[kellyj]

It's nice to finally put on the parts, especially the snare bridge.
That is one gorgeous snare Jump For Joy
Cheers!
