I'm new to this side of the site. I spend all my time in the Non-US side...
I have a chance at a 1964 Sky Blue Pearl. I was wondering if $850 is a fair price. All serial numbers in the 12xxx range.
They are 3 ply with baseball bat mufflers. They all have white interiors but are in rough shape inside for some reason, real dirty and chipped up.
There is about 2 inches of bearing edge separation on the floor tom. FT legs not original.
Mounted tom has a good patch of snare rash, but curiously on the top of the tom on the snare side(?) not at the bottom near the snare...
Bass drum hoops have a fair amount of chipping and dings and the inlays are loose or missing in sections. Top of bass has a chip of wrap missing the diameter of a cigarette, exposing the wood beneath.
Fair amount of pitting and some minor rust on hardware.
That's my assessment. My questions are, to the Ludwig gurus, is this a desirable year? Is this a desirable wrap? Is it worth the price in it's current condition?
