I'm looking for some information on this Rogers Powertone. What do these go for? It's Cleveland, b&b lugs, no cracks on lugs. I'm thinking about buying it, but I don't want to overpay and I'm not too familiar with these drums, thanks.
Rogers Cleveland Powertone
I'm pretty sure that the strainer should be a clockface, not the later one. Bottom hoop is not Rogers. Tension rods for that era should all be square headed (with no flare at the bottom), not rounded.

Yes! That is the famous Clockface strainer. I think it was available on all Powertones that had B/B lugs.

I talked with the owner of the Powertone, he said he had brought it to a drum shop in Dallas and the guy there added some parts that were missing. Apparantly he added the wrong strainer.
He's asking $325 shipped.
Maybe $225-$250 tops would be fair.
For $325, I'd expect the drum to have the correct Clockface strainer and square head tension rods. While many people don't have issues with non-original t-rods, I do! Especially when top prices are being asked. What's the condition of all the B&B lugs? Any cracks?

There are no cracks on lugs.
A definitely plus! I believe that the "Tall Boy" hoops would have been used on this drum. The batter hoop does appear to be correct, but can't really tell about the snare-side hoop. Do you know for sure about what hoops are included?
When you factor in free shipping, that also is a plus. Depending on distance, just shipping a snare drum can easily be a minimum of $30. I'd still do a little haggling and see where the two of you can meet. Keep us informed!

If there are no extra holes, that is a very fair price. You can do a nearly even value swap for the right strainer.
