I finally made the plunge.
stumbled upon this one locally.
20 , 12, 14 ...Champagne Sparkle
the guy was the original owner who gigged with it in the 60s and got a good job in the early 70s and has had this set up in the very finished basement I pulled it out of this morning since then.
this thing is gorgeous
all original except for the cymbal L arm and the heads
even the Jimmy Pratt kick muffling system is still in tact
the L arm that is on it is an old Slingerland I believe.
I plan to get a nice 60s Gretsch L arm off ebay.
it is also missing the kick drum badge but I just ordered an original bass drum badge that should be here in a few days
I also plan to get all stands from the same era and a kick pedal as well.
the guy who I bought it from also threw in the Ludwig Speed King kick pedal that he used with the kit...but the bearings are a little seized up.
I'll take more pics when she is complete....for now here she is as I bought her
