Please Ludwig guys, I need your help. I have recently purchased a Speed King pedal from a fellow member which I think is in fantastic shape! Thanks, burgundy!!! During the last couple of days, I have been researching this newest acquisition. From what I understand, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, my pedal is from the mid-sixties or a bit beyond. The reasons: It has the longer short stops or flanges on the base piece that slides under the drum hoop. It has only one hole on the side stop which allowed access to the toe clamp roll pin. In the later editions, there was a second hole which allowed spacers to be inserted to prevent the linkage from hitting the batter head because the flanges were shorter.I believe these spacers can be seen in the Ludwig catalog from 1980. I was going to try out the pedal on Sunday but, our guitar player was ill. Am I on the right track? Are my assumptions correct? Thank you very much, guys!
