Man, good deal! First, those cymbals are great, you basically got them for free. That snare is a 70's Ludwig Acrolite. The parts on it are worth a bit more than you paid for the whole thing.

My suggestion is to clean up and repair the CB-700 kit. Do the same for the Acrolite. Playable, the Acrolite should be worth around $100.00 to $120.00 with correct parts. Maybe a bit more if the condition is nice. The repaired drums should be able to fetch around $120.00 or so. Maybe a little more if their condition is good. I'm not sure what the cymbals would bring, but don't give 'em away. Those are good cymbals.

You may be able to get more in different locations (or less). The prices I gave you are what I would ask here in California.

Pleased to meet you, and good luck!

I,d be MOST interested in your cymbals!!!!

You asked for a time frame on the manufacture of these drums- I would put it from 76-78. The tom holder was used on Pearl kits up to about 76 and on stencils like this CB for a little while after it stopped going on the name brand stuff. That color, the lugs tell me it's somewhere from 76-78 as well.

Fishwaltz and OsakaBop thanks for the information. I am going to try and find some tom rims for the reso's on this kit and put some new heads on these drums to see what they sound like. For now I'll start cleaning them up. I kinda want to see how good I can get them to sound with decent heads. Thanks.

That 404 is also an early Paiste 404, it has black lettering. The later models had brown ink. Acrolites are always a good score.
