Which do you think is the rarest color of all and of course 60’s keystone badge

I’m thinking on buying one don’t know what’s going on I’m in a fever bad can’t control the disease I was in remission but now I’m going crazy with all theses kits on the market

At my age I should know better…

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Between the 3 mods, Citrus Mod is the rarest. However, how do you plan on finding a set in this color? You'll be looking for a long, long, long....time!!

Here's my tribute Jazz Festival wrapped in Citrus Mod from Jammin' Sam, which is pretty good! The snare is actually a Rocker II.

Citrus is by far the rarest. It just didn't sell very well. Mod Orange is much more common by comparison. It's not common but there's a fair amount out there. Psychedelic Red stayed in the catalog the longest (around a decade), indicating it sold the best of the three since they didn't discontinue it as quickly. Citrus mod seems to have faded the least. Almost all vintage Mod Orange or Psych Red you see today will exhibit some fading.

All three mod wraps have been reproduced to varying degrees of looking like the original. The most recent Citrus Mod and Mod Orange are pretty good. Psychedelic Red has yet to be really reproduced well.

Yes but keep in mind that quite a few black panther Ludwigs were actually hiding the less desirable citrus finish. Keep your eyes peeled for a nice surprise. You never know.

Keep fixing them up...

Hi drumfx! While this is certainly true, please keep in mind that the amount of time and care it takes to properly remove the Black Panther and bring the Citrus Mod back to life can make this a daunting task! Unless you have the skill, it's best left to a professional, such as Jack Lawton. I honestly don't know what he would charge for this service, but I have to think it might be costly!

First off there are two types of adhesive

Water based and petroleum basically/animal Hyde but they don’t use it much anymore!

Each one can be removed with either soap and water wash / alcohol / acetone ( be careful littles goes long way and it can break the nitrous cellulose )

And as far as petroleum based , paint thinner/ acetone again /mineral spirits /turpentine

Citrus strip theses won’t hurt the finish as always try a little area first

I have done it once and the black panther stuff came off pretty easy. I would say under 2 hrs plus it protected the cool citrus finish under it. I would do it again in a heartbeat for sure.
