Sellin' the Acro

[rayboomboom]

Pics to come, but...

This is a Ludwig Acrolite, Blue/Olive Badge. I rescued this from a pawn shop and completely put this thing back together:

-tapped out a couple of minor dents

-replaced top and bottom hoops with Gibraltar 2.3mm's

-replaced snare throw off

-new snare wires

-And I painted it black - it looks pretty good. There are some flaws but you have to pick the drum up and examine it to see them

-I did not replace the badge

 

I've used this for a couple of years, though not much for gigging. Top head is played, bottom in very good shape.

 

I've enjoyed this drum, I just don't use it. Everyone needs an Acro (I just need the cash more than the drum right now).

 

$100.00 + shipping

 

I will post pics shortly!!

 

post interest here or pm me.

As promised here are the pics. These are taken pretty close up so it shows the flaws I spoke of earlier. When this drum is on a stand and behind a kit you don't see them at all.

 

The pics:

 

 

 

There's a little paint chip on this that happened soon after I painted it. That's the biggest flaw on the drum.

 

 

Edit: to the right you can see where the air vent grommet was removed (just the hole now).

 

 

 

A few minor surface scratches

 

 

Evans ST Dry head. The head is dirty from stick marks (including side sticking). The coating is still decent.

 

 

Attack Terry Bozio snare side head. I did not paint the inside of the shell.

Bump

this is a great sounding drum and really needs to be played. I need the cash more than another snare.
