Oval badge Pearl blue sparkle. Thoughts?

Loading...

Thinking about this kit. How hard is the missing hardware going to be?

Thanks!

That is maybe a $100 drum set. That price is stupid.

Agree, It's overpriced. Have a call in to the seller. Winter seems to be coming early. Looking for some projects.

Agree with all of the above. Will not be very hard to get the parts. You will likely not be able to pry that kit from seller's hands for 100 though - but frankly......(and I am quite well experienced with MIJ) I would not pay a penny more. Honestly, I would try to find a better kit....this one has too many wrap issues and needs toomany parts and all new heads, not the best shells (IMHO - 3ply with rings are much superior).....have I said enough? Besides - with that badge - really does not make sense to me that those shells are the thicker ones......Pearl did not start making those shells until 67 or 68. I would have thought that badge would be long gone by then.

Regarding the years of this badge/vs shell type - calling Mike Layton or good ol' Jonnistix if he ever sees this (MIA lately).

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

Thanks all for the help. Just off the horn with the seller. He is not moving from $325. Pretty sure that will change but I'm no longer interested, Bunch of wrap repair required, not fun.

It used to be these (MIJ) were a dime a dozen - but become more hard to find. Usually CL and local sales are so darn flooded with modern crap.

those are pre 68 badges. as far as shell construction, I can't say. ive got two snares with this badge. one has re-rings and one does not.

Way overpriced. $175 at most. The seller will find that out after awhile, im sure.

The seller has dropped it to $275.00 - which is about $225.00 too much, IMO. He's sure proud of that mess.

If you like them and the seller is not too far from you

go have a look in person and dicker from there

The badges may have been re-applied from an earlier kit

those drums do not look correct for them

the lugs are just like some that I have here

on an early to mid 70s "Whitehall" and "Tempro" kits
