Just picked up a Leedy 9x13 rack tom today, also in a very yellowed/damaged WMP wrap.....I guess this was the most popular color wrap that Leedy, and Leedy & Ludwig sold! This one has a date stamp of 4804, so April 1948! I need to source a few of the hoop clips as 5 are broken and one has no plating left on it at all and another appears to be of a different manufature, Slingerland maybe? No extra holes, has holes for a hoop mount style tom mount, and only one of the two internal tone controls are there. Sourcing another tone control might be difficult, but then again maybe not. This drum has no other issues with it! Scored it for $75.00! This seems to be the magic number for me and these Leedys/L&Ls!!
Anyone want to sell me a floor tom for $75 or a Broadway snare for $75? Laughing H
Anyway, I should be ordering the hoop clips and new Continental Pearl wrap on Tuesday.....since Monday is a holiday, I may not be able to order anything on Monday. This kit is starting to come together nicely! Cool Dude
