While we've all got Radio Kings on the brain... Last viewed: 9 hours ago

Posts: 287 Threads: 23

This isn't something I'm going to do tomorrow, or even in the near future, but at some point in my life I'd like to own "The worlds best" swing-era Radio King kit.

Ideally, from 1935...to go with the whole Palomar ballroom thing and such...but I'm sure anything from that time will do.

My question is, who would you guys go to, to find such a kit?

Also, and I know the answer will be different by the time I am actually able to do this, what would you expect to spend?

Thanks in advance for the input and for indulging my pipe dream!

Well asking here is a great start.

Never know how many tomorrows one has left so get what you can afford and enjoy today.

Look on this forum dor a set they do come up for sale here..

I have found these set's on C/L,Yard sales,Drum shops.Drum shows,ete,ete..

As far as price thats hard to say for a complete set maybe 2,500 and up,If you piece together a set maybe 500.00 and up...The price is just to hard to pin down....

A few years ago at a estate auction i got a complete 4 pc set with hardwear/cymbals for 275.00....Mikey
