Looking for 16" Red "Dixie" Floor tom

Hey fellows. Been a while since i have posted. I am looking for a 16" Dixie floor tom or floor tom shell with square badge in the red brushed finish. I need the seperate top and bottom lug design-not the center lug design. Most people call this wrap red sparkle on Ebay but it is actually a brushed red satin wrap and not a sparkle. I have spare lugs,hoops,mounts and legs,etc so a shell and badge will also do.

Condition must be in great or better shape with clean wrap as the set i have is in excellent shape and in round on both ends. I can redo the bearing edges if needed but need a solid shell. I will pay a fair market price including shipping cost.

Looked on ebay yesterday and seen a snare and 12 tom and 14 floor tom but no 16" floor tom.

I posted this set on here a while ago. Here is another photo.

dde, this is going to be a hard find as these stencils were only made for a very short period. The Pearl "battleship" lugs were only used in stencil production for about a year, maybe two. I had an Astro from the same era in orange sparkle, and once I got them tuned up, they sounded great! You may want to snag that extra 14" floor tom if it is not out of this world. These drums should have a maple veneer interior on all but the mounted toms, and even some of those had it. The bass and floor toms should have the maple.

Hi Johnny, Im sure its not the easiest color to find but not as hard as some of these unique swirl and psychedelic looking colors i see on here. One ebay seller had a 12" tom and 14" floor tom that went for $71.00+$39.00 shipping but i have those 2 exact sizes. I thought i would toss it out here. Anyone keep me in mind. I would even buy a whole set if the condition and price was right.

I am not sure how many plies and what type of wood is on these. I do remember all the shells were the same color/thickness. These are the best looking and strongest shells out of all the *** stencil kits i have had and i have had tons of them. I had some kits where the shells were so thin that the lug screws were starting to come through the interior and the lugs on the outside were indenting into the shell.
