Hi, I recently aquired another Ludwig kit. It is a white marine pearl. A 16x26 bass, 15 rack tom and 18 floor tom. The snare is a Coliseum, 8x14, that matches the rest of the kit. There are 2 sets of spurs, front and back, on the kick, which also is a 10-lug with inlaid hoops. The toms are both 8 lug, which are classic mini's. They are 6 ply. They have riveted seams :( . They are B/O rounded badges, which tells me '78-'79. The drums have been left in some heat somewhere, sometime over the years, and the wrap has shrunk, and cracked in a couple very small places, including the areas around the rivets.
Now, I found them on CL and paid $150 for them. The snare is in very good shape. The spur mounts are cracked off in places. The rubber spur feet are missing. The bass drum is missing all 10 of the claws and T-rods on one side. Badges are in great shape. Were they worth it? I say yes. If I were to resell them, how much do you think I should ask?
Is there any sort of epoxy or anything I could squeeze into these small cracks in the finish?
Thank you!
