OK, I think this is what I need. Feel free to chime in, folks:

1 x Teardrop lug for bass drum

1 x black plastic "T" bolt for bass drum spur

2 x tom mount steel "T" bolts for tom bracket holder (one: BD, one: TT)

1 x spring for inside of mounted tom bracket, as per diagram below

2 x steel "T" bolts for floor tom leg brackets

1 x floor tom leg

Here is a screen shot of the mechanics of the tom bracket, from the 1963 German catalog on the Sonor Museum site.

I'm pretty sure it's #2.

As for youe stripped BD lug. They have brass insert. Go get yourself a piece of brass stock and make one. You'll save yourself a ton of money and alot of searching.

Teardrop lugs are usually about $25 each(if you can find one). There was one on Ebay about a month ago. It was in Manitoba Canada I think.

It`s top pic., all of the wing screws should look the same over the kit !!

Interesting.

All the one's on mine were the stick off to one side with eye bolts.

Mind you, all my ft legs were straight with just balls at the ends.

Holy Schnikeys....

It's a matching 16" floor tom for my Teardrop kit. I already have this size but am thinking it might be cool to have two 16s... Gonna keep my eyes on this. What do you Cats think?

Any opinions on this? If it was a 14 or 18 I'd be all over it, but as it's a 16, I'm leaning away as it's the same size I have.... It's just the damn FINISH is the same, and I know I could tune for variance... But that is reaching, I know. The seller is firm on price at $200 for now.

This matching snare was on eBay a couple of weeks ago, I was stoked! I contacted the seller right away to see if they would ship to Canada. In the meantime, someone else made them an offer and it sold.... For $110.00

Cooked Egg

I would have paid more. Two of us lost! This is the blurry eBay photo.

Oh..., sad...

But if you want it extremely then you can ask a buyer's contact from the seller or find buyer on ebay feedback list and rebuy it from him !!

George.

Hey everyone, hope all are well. Just decided to put these up for sale if anybody is interested, I'll check up on my old messages about them in my PM box and message anyone first who has gotten in touch. Will also probably poke around Toronto to see if any friends are interested... A 1966 Ludwig Super Classic just came up and tapped me on the shoulder and I can't keep three vintage kits. I REALLY don't want to sell these but...
