Thanks Fella's for the good advice...I will heed your warnings,,I am interested in it though, so I will take up sellers option to take a look first.Below is the sellers description..CheersJohnCoffee Break2Vintage Slingerland 14X6 8 lug. 1958 Shell and original Slingerland Lugs, Rims and Throw. No extra holes.Nice vintage sound and sad to see it go. I am no expert on vintage snares.I was told the shell is from 1958 though it has no badge. I sourced the rims, lugs and throw from similar vintage Slingerland via Ebay many years ago and put it together.I don't see these in Australia very often so it may be a bargain for the collector. If in the Sydney area, you are welcome to come see it at first hand.
LongJohn, I would not go over 50.00 to 75.00 for the drum.Its a piece together snare the shell maybe not even a S/L shell.The shell has been re-finish.Just to many other things wrong with the drum and at that price 200.00. I would look for a better drum..Mikey
