Greetings all,
I've been snooping around this site for a while now unregistered, and I really enjoy the forum. I could not find an introduction section (am I stupid?), so I'll tell you a bit about myself before I ask my questions. I'm a member of one other drum forum on the web (centerstagem.com) which deals with more modern drums. I own three drum kits, 2 vintage, and one modern. My modern kit is a six piece Mapex Saturn in Copper Krush glass glitter. I own two vintage ludwig kits: a 67 blue sparkle super classic originally purchased for my father by my grandparents and handed down to me. No matching snare with this kit. Just 4 years earlier they had purchased a deep blue sparkle slingerland 5X14 snare to see if he would stick with it, he did. I have this snare drum as well. I also have a 62 superclassic in black oyster pearl, no matching snare here. The 62 is the set I have some questions about, and am considering selling. I rescued it at a garage sale recently. The finish is in amazing condition, but the shells are all missing lugs. The seller was the daughter of the original owner, and she is still looking through boxes to hopefully find the lugs. These drums have NOT been rewrapped. The question here is this: if she can't find the lugs, from a selling value stand point, is it worth it for me to A.) try and track down original lugs, B.) buy reproductions, or C.) just sell the shells IF i decide to sell the drums. I do have both wood hoops for the bass, and all hoops for the toms...all in great condition. Thanks guys!
Nick
