You will not make a significant amount of money by parting it out, unless you got it for free. In that case, you could make about $150. 70' Pearl parts are a dime-a-dozen. I've got a large bucket of parts right here, and two 18" flanged hoops, with rust. If they are fiberglass, then the wrap comes off easily, and I'd like a 14" fg shell.

Leave it as is, gig them as is. If they get stolen, so what. Give them to some young kid that cannot afford a decent set that's above starter quality.

I redid my old 70's fg Pearl set, with brand new BLR lugs that fit the original holes perfectly, but I won't ever pretend that I'd get what I put into it. But it's a great all weather kit.

i'd like an 18'' f/g floor tom

First, of all, I agree that it's not going to be worth re-wrapping with traditional wrap if you're planning on re-selling. They just don't have the resale value. I have refurbed several of these types of kits with a wood veneer wrap that I got real cheap (some seconds from a cabinet factory). But no, didn't get big money out of any of the sets -- and when you figure in my time, no, didn't make any money to speak of. I just love this era of Pearl drums!

However, I have some comments and questions...

The tom mount was used throughout most of the 70s, not just in 73. They switched to the 7/8 tube mount around 1978.

Unless I'm color-blind, your first picture appears to be some sort of Black Oyster Pearl, and the second appears to be Blue Oyster Pearl. The Blue was available in the 1973 ond 1975 catalogs (American market), and the black was never available in the American market, at least in the catalogs I have access to. Pearl also offered a Red Oyster Pearl in the 73 catalog. The wrap problems shown in the first picture are normal for the oyster wrap Pearl used -- it just couldn't take temperature changes at all. I've removed both red and blue from drums (and have rolled the old up it anyone need patches!)

What are the sizes of the drums?

What is the shell construction?

Do you have more pictures?

Thanks!
