Batterhead, yes! Your picture shows exactly what I was describing. Thanks.
I am (hopefully) about to recover my original 1400s that have been in a deceased band member's attic for 40 years. They are the type with the "L" clamp for the top rod. I am, needless to say, VERY anxious to see what condition they are in...they could be just like they were 40 years ago...nearly new!
