How much is my early 70's 5 piece Ludwig drum set worth??

Posts: 12 Threads: 9

I have a Vintage 70's WMP Ludwig5 piece drum set. Unlike the other post similar to mine the wrap seems pretty tight and secure. I have a 22, 12, 13, and metal supraphonic snare. The chrome on the snare is flaking but other then that it's a great drum. Here are what I consider the negatives, first the front rim and hardware is missing and the badges on the toms are bit beat up. Meaning loose and bent a little. I have cleaned them thoroughly. Thanks for the help in advance. By the way if anyone knows where I can buy a matching hoop and hardware please let me know.

When you say hardware, what do you mean, and beware, there are those members of less than honest virtue who troll this site contantly, not letting anyone know thye are online that look specifically for people like you to take advantge of. If someone PMs you with an I'll give you 400 right now, run from them.

The kit is called a Super Classic, go to ebay and search completed listings, there you find the average value.

Thanks for the warning, but I am still not sure what they are worth. I managed to find a front hoop thanks to a gentleman on VDF who responded. I was wrong about the wrap it is pulling a part a bit at the seems. Hopefully someone can give some idea of the value. At least closer then what I figured. Thanks in advance.
