Hi, I'd like to start by saying I'm a guitarist and know very little about drums.
This past weekend I bought my 3 year old daughter a cheap used Yamaha drum set from a 17 year old kid. It came with bass, 12, 13, 16, high hat, crash, ride, and an old Ludwig snare. The drummer in my band took notice of the snare drum right away, and said it sounded great. I did some research on it and I think it's a 402 Supraphonic. It's 14 x 6 1/2 10 lug. All parts are in tact and all look original. ludwig script on throw off and ends of snares, Keystone badge# 9242, baseball bat muffel red felt. Chrome is peeling off alloy shell in some places very badly. The drum looks like it's never beed cleaned.
Here are some pics.

Questions: What year is the drum? How much would it bring on ebay (not looking to sell)? Would a rechrome job hurt the value or tone?
Thanks, Blake
