Speed King missing compression spring and piston...

Posts: 142 Threads: 43

So I bought what looked like a very nice Speed King off the bay last week; checked it out when I got it home, seemed OK but a little weak compared to what I remember from playing one way back when. Today I just got around to taking it apart to see what is up and one side is completely missing the friggin compression spring and piston! What an as*hat. I'm so annoyed. I checked to make sure the bearing was in place, which it was, so now I need to get a piston and spring... I was able to find the spring online but I can't seem to find the piston. Anyone here have one or can direct me to the correct place to get one?

Kits:
1966 Ludwig Hollywood Gold Sparkle Pearl 12/13/16/22
Star 3pc in Red Glass Glitter (1960's)
Snares:
1959 Ludwig Pioneer Mahogany
60's Ludwig Pioneer Gold Sparkle
60's Ludwig Acrolite (Keystone)
Ludwig/Custom 6.5x14
1960's Bolero (MIJ)
