Hi!
I came across this Slingerland No. 173 Deluxe Concert King circa 1974 (according DrCJW) some years ago. It has some kind of TDR strainer and butt on it with rollers (see the picture). i have never got it to work properly (the snare wire slips and loosens and it seems that you can tighten the wire in many different ways because of the rollers), and now i have also lost the metal plate and the two screws on the strainer that hold the snare wire. So now i can't use it at all unless i find a new plate and screws or replace the whole strainer and butt.
I'm thinking of replacing the strainer and butt with new (or used) ones but i don't know which ones would fit. the spacing between the drilled holes in the drum is about 63 mm (about 2,48 inch).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
