This tom mount came with the Mod Orange kit I just picked up. It's cracked, but welded solid in the back. I'm planning to use it, simply because it adds to the beat-down character of this set. Still, I'm wondering if the block lettering aluminum mount is correct for this kit (1968).
Thanks

I would think yes, as it's before they introduced the revised 70s logo, and I don't believe they made them with the script... I'm a consolette guy though, so it's really just an educated guess.

If it's early 68,I would think so.......later....maybe not...
Ginger Baker used that one on a kit or two......cool!
I'm pretty positive that's original to the set. Even if the dates don't match up I'm sure Ludwig would have used it if it were left overr from an earlier period. My Psych red rock duo is dated Dec 12 1968 and it came with that same mount.
i believe its a earlier mount maybe 65/ 66 and earlier as my 68 is a blacker background and not textured hope this helps i think, its not my everyday kit its in its bags on the shelf but ill check it for sure
if youve got the l-arms, here is one that just came up on ebay with a nice buy it now,24.99. looks pretty good....
