OK, I added a cymbal for you, lol. After the break in of our vacation home I need to start adding things.

Great looking kit.

Thanks for sharing!

In my humble opinion, your kit hasn't "yellowed" at all, it's simply "mellowed"!

Thanks again everyone! And I agree with "Old School", it has mellowed not yellowed...and really it has not much "yellowed" either.

What is the actual date? I was born on Dec 18 1970. I actually have a 22,12,13,16 wmp Ludwig with Dec 18 1970 stamped in the floor tom. The set is kind of whooped and was that way when I got it but I had to have it because it was made the day I was born.

Nice set you have!

Dates are October and November 1970, can't remember actual day but can check if needed? Please post pics of yours and if I can answer any questions please feel free to ask. Some Ludwig shells were the scarf joint shells from the 60s and some the newer method where the wrap is put on after, mine is the latter. As you are probably aware Ludwig wasted no parts and put together what was available at the moment so some people got a mixture of both and some even got both keystone and b/o badges. There is a video floating around youtube of mine as well. Happy restoration! It's the labor of love.
