How much is it going for on eBay? I have just received my grand fathers 1918 Ludwig professional kit, I have the cymbal clanger with screw, maybe the wing nut, I'm missing the beater to the Ludwig jr pedal. Have the mount, cymbal, clanger piece

I also just got a 1920's Ludwig Tango kit and am looking for a few parts. I picked up one of the clanger arms from the Bay yesterday and figured I would need to have my local machine shop make the PJ527 or PJ113 screw for me until I can find an original. Let me know if you find a few extra of them

I paid $30 for the cymbal striker. I’m wondering if the PJ527 is the same as a single point lug used on bass drums and field drums.

CT, I think you beat me on the striker you bought yesterday. I was watching that one as well.

How did you get that BD to shine so nicely in your second picture? The kit I got will need some love and attention. And I think you may be right, a friend sent me the link and I grabbed it right up. Still looking for a cymbal hoop holder, not sure if the one in your original picture on your first post or one that looks much thicker and like a comb is more proper for a Tango kit. Any ideas?

I bought that bass drum for $1 in 1971. I refinished it a couple of years ago. I tried to match my snare with the stain and I put a couple of coats of polyurethane on it. The hoops I left natural with the polyurethane on it. I posted the progress on the project on this forum. You might be able to search for it.

I have all of the catalogs in PDF. I will look up the tango kit and see what it looks like. I’ve seen the comb holder on eBay but most are missing a piece to secure the cymbal to it.

Attached is my original kit in 1971.

I’d love to see photos of your kit and all of the hardware you have. I bought the cymbal bracket recently. I’ve had the cymbal since 1971 as well.

I am picking it up this weekend and will post pictures once I get it home and dusted off.

That’s cool stuff! Looking forward to following the progression.

CT,

If your having your machine shop make those parts, I’d like to piggyback on it. Let me know how I can pay.

Thanks

Here is a link for the cymbal arm for the Tango Outfit. Also a couple of pages from the 1922 catalogue. Not sure the link will go through but I copied it in text as well. This arm was sold a few weeks ago but it is what you might be looking for.
