What is a good price for a 60's acrolite in good condition. Looking for a correct model to match my Club Date. I have seen prices from $150-300.

I bought a '67 last year in excellent condition, all original, for around $225. I was very happy with the price. The range you stated seems right on.

The early 60s acros will fetch some good money. I think you can find a good player's grade mid/later 60s acro for around $200, give or take some. Keep an eye in the For Sale section here, as they show up pretty frequently.

pre 67 will be higher than the later ones its the rims from the earl ones they are made a little heavier than post 68 models in my book up to 76 they still sound cool they changed hoops then again to even lighter ones yet..cost cutting...

66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I paid 130 for this 9.5 out of 10 1966. This is one is so nice I don't even use it & found another one (1967) for 150 on local CL. I wanted the same thing to match my 65 Club dates. They are out there & these drums are just fantastic sounding snares. Hope you get it!
