WTB - Ludwig 14" Floor Tom Champagne Sparkle -1960s/early 70s

Posts: 109 Threads: 35

Looking to buy a 1960s/early 70s Ludwig 14" floor tom in champagne sparkle.

It does not need to be a museum piece, but I do want it to be in round and in at least decent shape.

I think there's one on eBay right now.

There is, but the bottom of the shell is not round, you have to "squeeze the shell" to get a head on there. That seems like a bad idea to me.

If it's a shell you can grab on the cheap, Mitch designed a simple truss system using the lug holes to help put a shell back in round. It's not like it can't be done, it's just a gamble that the shell will be a *good candidate for the fix. (*Just egg shaped as opposed to wavy. An egg you can fix, wavy is mission impossible.) One side is in-round you say? I think it can be saved.

If you can grab it cheap enough, go for it.

Hmm...the guy is asking $480, which seemed high to me considering it is not in round. What do you think?

I agree, way too high. At $200 - $250 it's a buy. Out of round, no more than that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. $200 or so, and I'd give it a shot, but nearly $500!?!? Uh, no.
