Great, thanks for the info, I thought the top left was a W&A; that's my favorite stand! I was thinking the top right was a Slingy maybe? Or maybe some Japanese type.
Not sure if that's a Slinger or not...
I love the Walberg & Auge stands, they are by a landslide my favorites. They do vary in quality though - the chrome falls of in sheets on some. They were offered in nickel finish or chrome. I prefer the nickel... funny the chrome ones were more expensive in the day.
Ludwig-dude I checked out JamminSam, and the pic looks great but it says "Wing Bolts 4 pc bag of different sizes/shapes............$4.99
Note:* Sizes, shapes, thread size may differ from picture." so I guess you'd have to phone them.
Here's a 1400 like you would have bought in 1969, except the cymbal wing nut and washer under the cymbal are wrong. There's a gap at the red arrow where they sometimes pull out, this one needs pushed back in. I've had them fall off at gigs. Those are the nice chrome Mickey Mouse wingbolts. And the yellow arrow is the sticker saying not to take out the middle tube and tighten the wingbolt or you'd break it - I've done it!

A pair of Atlas cymbal stands... red arrow is older type and yellow newer, and the green arrow is the Mickey Mouse galvinized only model the went to later - I didn't like that move (BOO!):

Here's an 80's hi hat (left) with (yellow) another type wingbolt. The stand on the right is a current Ludwig flat base that I dislike. The red arrow is the new type wingbolts, and the green arrow is the Made in Taiwan label... kinda sad:

I bought two NOS in box 70's #1329 stands... they were for mounting wooden practice pads on:

Here's what the top looked like (they had to use the red arrow MM bolt on the top, the yellow arrow bolt wouldn't turn there):

I made a wooden top for one, covered it with no-slip rubber and it's a nice stand for my laptop:

Those arrows made me dizzy I need to lie down.
