It really depends on if someone out there is looking for a single tom in this color. I'd pay no more than $200. But that is because I don't have a set that matches it.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]....has someone opened the cage door of all of the Orange Mod-wrapped old Luddys which were being imprisoned lately ?????.....

This is wacky....in the past few weeks they are all over the place....Eye Ball[/COLOR]

You are right. Maybe someone locked them away for a rainy day ?

LOL! yeah, it sure does seem like The Tomb of Mod Orange has been uncovered!

NOTE: That tom in the picture shows an example of what happens when the first hex nut is stripped out and then a new (wrong style) one replaces it and is over-tightened to the point that it literally breaks the die-cast casing.

NOTE: A 1967 drum would have had a BB muffler, would it not? Rotary knobs of that era didn't appear until 1968 if I remember correctly.

This seems to be the case with 6-lug Gretsch snare drums too! Hmmmm

Actually that rotary knob is the old style that were around before the BB mufflers. They continued to be used (as surplus parts, perhaps?) on later (after '64) era acrolite snare drums, and maybe on this drum, unless someone put it on there. I wouldn't put it past the factory to outfit the tom with that muffler. The later round muffler handles are larger and flatter than that one pictured.

How come the floodgates don't loosen up for early sixties Slingy toms ?? Huh? Tell me that?? Uh-Huh? Can't tell me that, can 'ya?? That's what I'm talkin' 'bout baby.... Yeah baby..... It's a sham... it's a mockery.... it's a shamockery, I tell 'ya

Sorry, kinda spun off there a bit. Let's just say my search for early-sixties-jazz-sized Slingy toms has been less than fruitful lately.
