[COLOR="DarkRed"]Pretty Kit.

Rogers moved from Dayton, OH to Fullerton CA in 1970.

In 1976 Rogers went from Swivomatic hardware to Memrilock, and the badges changed from script to "Big R".

So...you are somewhere in there. Wanna get closer ?

Do the lugs have springs inside of them, or are they springless with a small exterior c-clip conected to the lug inserts ?

If the latter, it's a '75. If the former, it's 1970-74.

Do you see any serial #'s ?

ok! i will take some photos of the "stickers, and find out if it is springs in the "tuning system" ( sorry my bad english :P )

OK. it says pat pend on the mounts. and you are right... its california, not chicago! i will take some pictures later today. thank u so far:)

here are some pictures!

it was spring inside the lug...

and it stands pat pend on the tom mount etc...

also took a picture of the logo script, maby that helps?

the numbers are

13x9" tom # 26209 powertone model made in usa by rogers fullerton california.

16x16f tom# 70664 powertone model made in usa by rogers fullerton california.

The "sticker" for the bassdrum are missing :( all edges/rings/shells are in PERFECT condition.

hope this will help.

per ola.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Very good ! Thanks for posting that, because it gives us the answer...that's a NICE Fullerton set...it was made early in Fullerton before they began cheaping out with the cast collets and the springless lugs.

So...1970-71 is the date of that set.

Very, very nice. And you are in Norway, eh ? Harder to land a Rogers kit over there.

Do you like the sound ?[/COLOR]

thank u for GREAT info :)

its almost never any rogers sets for sale in norway... i bought it in south sweden last week. I earlyer played on tama starclassic maple and the new starclassic b/b. But the differens from new tama drums to this rogers set are HUUUUUGE! i loove the big round warm vintage sound in this set.

But is it kind of rear with an 24x14" bassdrum? havent seen any for along time...

thank you alot for info :)

regards from snowy norway :P

69-70 Early Fullerton tags, Transition period.
