I went to the local pawn shop to see if they still had this flat base spur lok hihat stand that i was thinking of buying. there's something to be said for actually handling something instead of looking at microscopic pictures on ebay or C/L but this thing seemed kinda expensive.
At 135.00 for a worn stand, no clutch, no rubber feet, broken rubber cup and a possible linkage repair, it seemed like a bit much, especially at a pawn shop in the ghetto, (somebody has been on ebay) screw it to pricey.
As im about to leave, I see a snare hard case, beat to crap, black vinyl coming off " Ludwig Drum co." onthe side, inside 5x14 blue sparkle, six, no wait, eight lugs! baseball bat muffler, in white, classic p87 throw off, too light to be COB hoops, six digit serial number, JAN 5 1967 stamped inside! and a WFL flat base stand in the case.
price tag $125.00...
... got it for 107.75.
question is how in the H E double hockey sticks can they know markent value on a 1964 flat base hihat stand, and then miss the boat on what is like THE gold standard in wooden snare drums?!?
Imean it is a p87 not a catalog "jazz festival" but still, wow.
now i have a '61 5 1/2x14 and a '67 5x14.
