How much seems reasonable for these drums? Looks like swivomatic conversion to memriloc (holes show) I believe they are a set from 74. Serial number is B14832. Anything you pick up on looking at these that I might be missing?
24" bass; 18" floor tom; 14 and 13" rack toms
I don't see extra Swivo holes or a script badge on the BD, so maybe that's a Big R and they converted the toms to fit?
My Swivo 18 FT has 4 legs, not 3.
For dating look at the paper tag inside the drums, if it says 9/72 that would be 1972 up to 1975.
Because of the mods it is a players kit,and most Rogers people find memriloc hardware less desirable.The 18 ft adds a little value if original.
I would say 400.00 to 500.00 tops

Yes, that is odd. The bass appears to be an original Big R while the toms appear to be late 9/72 series. I'll bet the serial numbers on those script toms have no underline and no letter prefix (1975). The 18" and 20" FT's went from 4 legs to 3 legs during the final run of the 9/72 series (I have a 1975 20" with 3 legs). Eliminating one FT leg must have been a cost saving move. As far as value... that 18" FT might fetch $250-$300 by itself if it had the original hex legs rather than those modern legs.
I'd like to see pictures of the inside labels.
