Vintage 1945 Slingerland Radio King 16" Floor Tom White Marine Pearl Gene Krupa

Description

Open to International Bidders!! This No Reserve auction, is for a vintage 1945 Slingerland "Radio King" series 16" floor tom.
There are no badges or serial numbers to be found anywhere on this drum.
This beautiful floor tom measures 16" deep x 16" wide and it is made up out of three plies of wood ( mahogany/poplar/mahogany ) and the interior is finished in natural mahogany. The exte
rior is factory wrapped in Slingerland's own white marine pearl. As you can see from my pictures, the white pearloid wrap is beautifully preserved, it has a gorgeous, high-gloss shine to it but it has yellowed with age.
16 Slingerland Radio King "streamlined" lugs are fitted to the shell. A pair of solid-brass "stick-chopper" hoops are included, along with sixteen hooks & tension rods and a Slingerland two-pad internal muffler assembly. Lastly, three factory original Slingerland floor tom leg brackets are included along with three original Slingerland straight floor tom legs. All of the lugs, the two hoops and the three leg brackets have been professionally re-plated in bright, polished nickel. The three floor tom legs however, were not plated and they are showing signs of rusting and chipping.
Both calf skin heads have been replaced, the bottom skin is a new old stock model.
Shipping and Handling to Domestic U.S.A. addresses will cost .00 for this auction. International bidders will need to supply me with a proper mailing address for a more accurate shipping rate quote.
