    ludwig 70s 3ply.
    Kit from 1971
    24x14 13x9 16x16 3 ply
    The bass drum has a sticker that dates to 1971. No pointy blue olive badges. this kit over all looks decent but has some major structural issues and some mold/must issues. Lot of unoriginal parts. Wrap has some peeling/splitting issues. This kit aside from the usual wear and tear has some water damage and the edges were at some point recut poorly. The 24 has the worst ply separation/ bubbling and the 13 and 16 have some water staining. Strong musty/ moldy smell from all of the drums. Seam lift on all the drums and heavy wear to hoops. The front hoop on the bass drum is unoriginal and the 16 hoops seem to be 2.3 mil hoops. The edges were recut from the original round over to what looks to be a 30 edge and there is a serious chunk out of the batter edge on the 13 tom tom. I included another picture of a 70s Ludwig  3 ply edge to show what i mean. Bass drum spurs at some point were upgraded to 1/2 inch spurs. Light rust and pitting on the hardware. Some unoriginal t rods and washers One t rod on the 16 floor tom is bent. One t rod screw is split on the 13 tom tom  Both function but are difficult in tuning. Legs on the 16 are 20 inch vintage style gibraltar legs. Bass drum hoops are beat up especially the original Ludwig hoop. I also have a piece of inlay for the front hoop. Definitely has potential just too much for me to take on in my garage. Tried to describe as accurate as possible but please feel free to reach out with questions or ask for extra pictures if there is something else you’d like to see. Thanks for looking
    Also forgot to add that the 1/2 spur upgrade is pretty sloppy so the wood in that area is pretty chewed up. See pic 10. The screws hold decent tho
