ajax bass drum spurs

Posts: 2197 Threads: 202

You could make these much sturdier by concocting a memory lock to augment the adjustment screw,so it wasn't really carrying the weight of the drum.The screw would only keep the spur from falling OUT-not rotating.

hmm that is strange! these spurs must have been replaced at some point then,you would never tell!

Had another thought. In the late 60s Premier took over manufacture from B&H (probably from mid 67 or 68) before Ajax finally disappeared in 1970 . At this time Premier/Olympic parts start to appear on Ajax sets. You may well have a late one. Are there any serial numbers stamped inside the shells?
