Hey, I've got a 1970s Ludwig black cortex 18x20 FT, clear interior, pointy B/O badge in pretty good shape (but not perfect). It has the usual skuffs and scratches (from normal use) on the wrap, but it polished up pretty good and from a few feet away it looks fine. The seam has buckled a little and I was able to stick it back down except for one pesky place that continues to pop back up.

Chrome hardware is all in good shape, as is the badge. I've put used but usable heads on it.

When I first got it (as a shell only), my thought was I'd hang on to it... thinking maybe I'd put together a "monster" Ludwig set like I always wanted. But, you know how that goes... plus the fact that I've recently picked up another repairable Ludwig shell of the same size that I can hang on to.

So, I've been toying with the idea up putting it up on eBay with a starting bid of $349.99 (plus shipping).

BUT -- If someone here on the forum wants or needs it, shoot me a reasonable offer. You can do a search of completed listings on eBay for FTs this size to see what they've recently been bringing.

Sorry, no pics until later this afternoon when I get home from work.
