#1. You have a Supraphonic snare drum in EXTREMELY pitted condition.

#2. The toms are missing the bottom rims -which ALWAYS means that DETAILED and in-focus pictures of the bearing edges are required. Because many times, the bottom edges get chewed up from being "exposed" so-to-speak. If the edges are bad, the value is really diminished.

#3. The toms are missing the bottom lugs.

#4. The bass drum hoop is missing.

#5. The tension rods to the front hoop are missing.

The Ludwigs are nice sizes and they could be made to be a lot nicer if they are properly cleaned and all the proper parts replaced.

Thank you!

COA and my acid from fingerprints. It has been flaking fo 42 years. Like bread crumbs. But the sounds(snaps)... Original stand!?

.

Stripped by the first owner/user. Since Oct. 1968 I have personally moved, placed, stacked and transported these drums. They have never slid around inside a truck on there edges. I know the pics are rough. I'm workin on it.

#3. The toms are missing the bottom lugs.

.

Ok, I may have lost and/or removed then lost hardware. I don't remember from what kit... I know I stripped down the mystery gold sparkle(5ply?) kit to look like the downbeat.

.

#4. The bass drum hoop is missing.

.

My fault. I remember the hoop... And the one on the drum is rough. My one contact point with a big foot.

.

#5. The tension rods to the front hoop are missing.

.

And the chrome is all rough.

.

The Ludwigs are nice sizes and they could be made to be a lot nicer if they are properly cleaned and all the proper parts replaced.

1.The kit is my baby(there I said it). How many new Burgundy Ludwig Super Classic Downbeat kits with upgrades, stamped Dec. 7,1966( I did not wash the floor tom), Sold, Stripped, Used in one or more large/LOUD venues and then left behind can there be. Is "For Sale" the correct forum for that question???

2. I say this directly as a drummer. The sounds from these drums. Parts or no parts... You can't find it.

3.Thank you all for your attention and replies.

If you are looking for a value, the "What's it Worth" section is where you want to be. You will really need some better pics though.

Good luck with them, and welcome to the Forum, man !!

I would say your set in the condition it's in missing part's,about 250.00-300.00 for the missing part's,and seeing the condition of the snare and not knowing the condition of the edge's and the finish..I would say 500.00 to 550.00...Mikey
