That may be rather hard to find.

There is a 6.5" Super Sound King on ebay right now for $350, although simply listed as a Slingerland 6.5 snare.

I don't see them often, and the snare assembly alone I see even less.

Hopefully someone here has one.

GMB, in my searchings I have yet to find any parts for the Sound King snare.

I scored a Sound King with that same complicated snare mechanism in New Orleans. It is incomplete though, missing one of the rollers and the knurled knob/hook that holds the snares.

Is $350 even in the ballpark for this snare?

I have not even seen a 6.5" Sound King (Zoomatic strainer) with a black and brass badge for sale in awhile. They usually have the later black and silver `70s badge.

A Super Sound King (parallel strainer) with a black and brass badge, and in the 6.5" depth is much less common than the 5" depth.

They probably made a lot of them, they just do not show up for sale lately.

$350 is more than I would want to pay, but not out of the ballpark. If it was for sale for $250, it would have sold already.

Matt and King Louie thanks for response and info...i may need to look at that one on e-bay a little closer...without seeing the butt end of the stainers, it's hard to tell. I had a feeling the parts were not going to come easy for this...the information on these snares is sometimes conflicting. King Louie, I have a 5"x 14"...what do you have? how do you like it? I also have a 6.5" x 14" 1979 Slingerland snare (COB) with the zoomatic strainer and it just sounds great! this is why I want to get this other up and going. I also have two (2) mid-70's 12"x 15" Slingerland marching snares that need some TLC...those can wait a little while.

I have a black/silver badged 6.5". I tried to salvage it as a useable drum by removing the portion that holds the rollers and threading snare cord through the two screw holes. It resulted in moderate success, the snare core that I used slipped quite a bit.

When I did have it dialed in though I got a loud rock crack out of it. I'll be it would sound killer with the concert strainer all setup and dialed in.

I may just put it on the classified section, I didn't realize they were hard to find. I'd much rather get it to someone who will appreciate it and get myself a nice, simple Krupa COB snare.

king Louie, how much would you sell it for...I may be very interested...

Let me snap some pictures when I get a moment and I'll PM you.

great! I look forward to seeing it...THANKS
