Ludwig 1121 "Speed King" hi hat - ridiculous!

You've helped me identify it as an 1121, and yes, I added the 1123 cymbal cup with the tilter.... just because it's more playable.

Completely disassembled, cleaned refurbed -- and in the process I found out that yes indeed, the spring tension IS adjustable. Clever, too... classy vintage hardware.

I had the footboard polished, and it turned out great. I went way over the top detailing this, to the extent of using a Dremel tool to clean out the insides of the rivets. Paid off, though -- details like that really make a difference. The chrome isn't perfect, but it is small scratch type stuff, bot pitting and grossness. Gray Hammerite paint on base

I added small circles of hardened silicone to the bottom of the feet - they had hardened over time and the stand bottomed out, rather than sitting on the feet.

Really nice vintage piece. Selling only because I have, um, four Spurloks. This is a BEAUTY.

$100 + shipping - I'll pay half of it if you're in the lower 48 US states. YES INTERNATIONAL shipping is fine.... I can find out the cost for you if you'll send a message.

In fact, it's better to send an email to me at [email]wafulton5@gmail.com[/email] because I can't always access this site at work.

Thanks!

I don't know this seller at all, but I can tell you that based on the condition, this is a great price. I recently sold one on ebay for $50 - it was really beat up and could NEVER look this good. BUY IT.

Mine was bent, rusted and generally ugly. Here's my completed listing:

It looks awesome and I know I really want it...

But the shipping cost will be so insanly high I'm not even going to ask :(

I hope one of you Yanks can give it a good home and keep it as clean as it is now ;)

Okay -- here's the offer.... just to keep this in the hands of vintage drum cats who appreciate what we got.

I pay half the shipping in the lower USA 48 states, and 30% of international shipping.

You guys in AU would kill me, but that's the offer!
