79' supraphonic

Posts: 8 Threads: 3

i purchased what seems like from the serial number a probable 79' supraphonic.actually found it on e-bay but when i found the owner lived about 40 miles away,went to his house to see it. it sounds terrific and bought it. it is clean! as soon as my scanner is fixed i will post a picture,it is really clean and the experts here can give their opinions/suggestions good/bad. glad to be a member of the forum again!

Hey, Doug. I have a '79 Supra, too! I love it! Mine is a 5-1/2" depth version. I paid $40.00 for it...in an antique shop....a few blocks down the street from where I live. I was walking by the shop, looked in the window, saw the drum sitting there...kept walking....a few steps more and...it hit me. I went back a few steps and bought it...along with an old concert tom and a Tama single-braced cymbal stand thrown in for good measure. The drum cleaned up and doesn't have a scratch! Apparently, the filth had preserved it!

Ok... Not rubbing it in anyones face, but I paid $50 for the 1971 5x14 I just snagged this week off craigslist. Needs a few parts but still... As for the gunk, O-Lugs, I can relate, seems to be the case with mine as the shell is super clean under the crap. What a pleasant surprise.
