Vintage Yamaha Golden Dragon

Posts: 133 Threads: 20

New here.... Picked up a vintage set of what seem to be Yamaha C-200 20/12/14 with golden dragon wrap. I saw some catalog pages posted to help with ID... but no info on what specific year these might be. Any help on dating them will be helpful. thanks!

Early to mid 70s, I should think.

Hi, Close up photos of a badge and lugs this will tell me more on the year the set was made.But off the top of my head and by the photo i would say the set would date from 1966-1972...Mikey

Hi, the lugs and muffler tension wheel look very similar to my Yamaha model 295 which I bought new in 1978. The floor tom legs are different though.

Does anyone happen to know bit more about ´70 Yamaha´s?

The badges are missing. and the legs are not original (Ludwig) I will take some closeups of the lugs , mufflers etc and post later.

Took a few photos of the lugs (dagger design) and internal muffler. Each drum also had a stamped number on inside shell. Floor: C-0219 Rack: C-0209 Kick: C-021? (couldn't make out the last number)

These have the natural interior and 6 lug kick with metal hoop... Ive heard that the D Series have the painted interiors with 8 lug wood hoop kick drums... and the tail light lug design.
