Looking for a new Radio King Snare.

I currently own a 14x6.5 Slingerland 1ply from the early 90's that is my favorite drum. I really want a 14x5/5.5 1 ply maple and have been looking at the usual suspects, DW and Craviotto. I then took a look at the Gibson/Slingerland web page and it appears that the 1ply maple Radio King is still being made but for the life of me I can not find any info at all on the web about this drum. I will try to call them this week but I am just wondering if anyone knows anything at all about new Radio King Snares?

Called Gibson this morning. It appears they have have not made any new Slingerland drums for quite a while. They did say that they are in the process of revamping the line and reintroducing the brand. I do wish them well and hope they don't go the route of Rogers.
