Those might be tough parts to find! I see these pedals often on eBay, but not sure how easy to find in the UK. Still, you may want to consider a complete pedal for parts. Of course, you never know what our members have lying around in their parts bins!

Thanks Mark

I've been in touch with Vincent of Polyphonic drum, who may be able to help.

But just in case, if anyone has any of these parts, please let me know?

Thanks

Email sent.

I have some extras of those particular parts, but they're from the Hi-Beat pedal (I'm assuming that they're the same parts). The eyelet bolt has a wing nut on it that's not original, but it is functional.

This is why I love this forum. You just never know who has an obscure item in their parts bin!

Thanks 8upwithit - I'm 99.9% certain that the eyelet bolt and wingnut are exactly the same, and the spur bolts look the same too.

I'm waiting to hear back from Ralf (star drums website) who is hoping to help. Failing that, I shall get back to you ASAP.

I'm still open to any advice / guidance on stripping / refurbing this beast of a pedal!!

Many thanks again!

Hello Del,

I just sent you an email. Do you mean these 'King Beat' bass drum pedals (left: earlier Star model, right: later Tama version) ?

Cheers, Ralf

Not those - the chunky 70s version

Many thanks to Ralf for his kind help in locating the missing parts and getting them to me from Germany.

I have stripped, de-greased and cleaned all of the King Beat parts.

I'm still hoping for any advice from anyone who has successfully refurbished one of these monsters!?! This looks like it's going to be really tricky!

Any words of wisdom, anyone???
