A friend wants to sell his red sparkle 1967 Ludwig 14 x 14 floor tom(club date), that he bought brand new in 67', to match up to a non-Ludwig set, and this is the only drum, he has left in the basement for 30 years or more. He is not pursuing music, so he's getting rid of it.
I cleaned up the wrap, and hardware. The lugs look really good...leg brackets have some rust on the top of the mounts, but the exteriors are nice...the legs work great.The hoops, and legs have some pitting...a few bent tension rods, and one hoop is a little bent. There are a few speckles of white paint on the drum, but it should come off fairly easy.
The shell has a slight flat spot where the wrap meets. Is this common ? Also, there is some slight ply to ring spearation in one spot. It is nothing major. The drum tunes up great, and doesn't need a Aquarian vintage head. It also has the original Weather Master heads. It's not mint, but not a beater. What would be a fair price ?
thanks
