With as many floating around you would think they would be 100$ or less. It blows my mind.
Wow! That is a beaut! I should be so lucky!
Def one of my best drums buys lately. Hard to trump the 20 old K for $30 and the RB gold plated engraved Gretsch 4160g for $35. Gotta lv Daddy's junky music circa mid 70's. Deals are out there!
You should immediately double your investment by selling it to me for $50. It’s just smart business!
My '65 Acro also has top/bottom brass hoops. Take the hoops off, hold 1 hoop up in the air with a finger and use the other hand to hit the hoop with a stick...you'll hear a pure church bell that rings forever. Such a great sounding snare.

Here's another "modest" offer for a 1970 Acro, just price dropped by $600-- yours now for the reasonable price of only $1,399 plus $49 shipping. Of course, you'd have to be a little in love with obtaining a 14 x 6.5 "NY Board of Education" version (does that make a difference in the sound?). I've listened to a ton of Acro videos, comparing all eras and haven't discerned much of a difference between the time periods. Who besides the drummer would even notice the ever so subtle differences between a 60s or a 70s or 80 Acro- even within the same time period? Hmmm.... Certainly entertaining to see these ads pop up and down.Highest I’ve seen yet for a relatively run of the mill 5x14. Of course he’s dreaming.

The NY BOE means it’s an original 6.5” drum, not the reissue that came out in 2013 or whatever. There’s not many of them, they’re bloody rare, and they’ve been damn expensive for some time now.Here's another "modest" offer for a 1970 Acro, just price dropped by $600-- yours now for the reasonable price of only $1,399 plus $49 shipping.
