40's-50's radio king t-rods

Posts: 99 Threads: 23

hey guys,

was wondering if anybody knew if 40's and 50's radio king t-rods would be interchangeable? am assuming nobody switched to metric at that point.

thanks,

adam

sorry, should sleep.

meant that would 40's t-rods work on 50's drums. assumed they would. just wanted to make sure there was no funny business before i plunked down some $.

sorry for the confusion.

adam, interchangable with what? don't understand the question? all vintage american drums are standard threaded.

All except 1930's Leedy's and I'm sure,some early 1900's drums!

I just took a t-rod off my broadway standard 10/38 they are 12/24 threads, I just threaded it onto a 70's ludwig 402 and a 30's radio king. mine are 12/24 threads.

The earlier Leedy drums took 10-24 trods; they switched to 12-24 like everyone else at a later time. I'm not sure when they switched; I think it was in the 30's.
