Hey all, just joined this forum. Was kinda curious what my 77-78 Slingerland Jupiter Outfit kit might be worth today. I'm the original owner, and had to order them from the factory in Niles....back in the day because the store I bought them from didn't have them in stock. I still remember the smell of the fresh wood when I picked them up and they were still the separate cardboard box they shipped in. The finish is Black Chrome which I think is still an awesome looking finish....well the drums have seen better days, I was on the road with them during late 70's early 80's playing around Champaign/Urbana, IL, Chicago, St. Louis loop. Kept playing them up until about 14 yrs ago when I picked up a really nice Roland V-drum kit. I use a combination of Zildjan and Paiste cymbals.
I found the specs on this website that match it exactly, brought back some nastalgia when I saw the catelog, the very one I perused when I was about 19 and shopping for those drums. I will try to find some pictures and post them. This is a cool site !!!
