Roughly 1983/1984.

Collecting information about the following for ongoing research projects:
Gretsch drums with serial numbers,
Ludwig Keystone and B/O badge drums with serial numbers and date stamps,
Ludwig Standards from 1968-73, and
Ludwigs with paper labels from 1971-72

That should be from the same period as the other one that was discussed.

Yours looks just like mine.

I sold mine yesterday.

Thanks Mike!

Green glass, can I ask what you sold it for?

I've loaned mine to a buddy but will be getting it back soon.

I thought you might ask.

Had it on CL for weeks here in Los Angeles at $140.00

No takers.

Lowered it progressively.

Finally at $100.00, I got a lot of responses.

Too many responses.

Sold it for $100.00.

But one guy said if it did not sell, he would give me $150.00.

Well I promised it to a guy and he got it for $100.00.

So price range in LA, CA is 100-150.

That is a lot of drum for 100 bucks.

But....NO SHIPPING.

I agree. There are way under valued but fantastic drums. It is not possible to make them sound bad.

Thanks for letting me know.

I got it back and have started using it but I need to fix something.

The little screw that's above the tone knob is missing. What is the correct size nut and bolt that goes there?
