I was given this drum today and told initially that it was an Acrolite. When I picked it up I right away saw that it was a Supra (maybe) or Super Sensitive? It has a chrome shell and ten lugs as you can see.
The chrome is peeling in a few places but I'm not worried about it - the drum is so nice and at the right price....free.
I'm puzzled by the strainer. The former owner told me he didn't have the proper snares for it so he rigged the current snares to fit....see wires. He bought the snare drum new but couldn't remember the year....maybe late 70's he said. I do have the Ludwig book and it looks like the S/N and badge puts the drum 1978-79.
I did a quick look in the Ludwig book to see what drum it is but so far can't see it exactly - it's probably in there. However, I thought I'd post here because I know the Ludwig buys will probably be able to nail the drum down and tell me what I need to fix it a lot faster than I would be able to look it up.
What do I need to have the throwoff/snares working like they were when new.
