Hi guys, once again I am calling on the experts here to give me some much needed input. I'm looking at buying this Luxus 0/200 Trixon kit. The year is 1966 in what I believe is grey vertical pearl wrap. The drums are in amazing condition as they are original owner who has had them in storage cases for the last 20+ years. The sizes are 20, 13, 16 with a 1971? Rogers Dynasonic (Ser#26731). The seller even has the original owners manual for the dynasonic. The kit comes with the following:
- soft cases for toms and bass
- hard case for base
- original Trixon throne (seat is ripped)
- Zildjian 20'' ride and 14'' hats purchased around 1970/71
- 18'' Zildjian crash purchased used in 68/69 which he said was old then
- ludwig speed king pedal
- what looks like a Star hi hat stand and 2 Star cymbal stands
- Premier snare stand
- 1 pair of ludwig sticks still in the wrappers
- 1 pair of mallets still in the wrappers
- stick holder
Other than the original hardware and snare MIA the only other issue is the bass drum is missing the front hoop (he has all of the claws and T rods) and both of the mufflers need parts to make them whole again.
He is asking $700 for the entire kit. I have zero experience with Trixon so I have 3 questions:
1 - How rare are these kits in this condition?
2 - Does this price seem fair? (I know the dynasonic itself is worth quite a bit)
3 - How hard and costly would it be to acquire the original hardware and bass hoop?
I have searched ebay, but have found very little in the form of vintage Trixon. I also searched the Trixon website via the badge page on the VDG.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Excited
