'76 Acrolite.... Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 4715 Threads: 299

I am thinking about selling my Acrolite to help finance a drum deal...In excellent condition, except it has a Slingerland Rapid Strainer. New Ludwig batter, have the original Lud snare wires, and a new snare side head. Also have UFO and a snare stand to go with, I think. Oh, and a music stand. What is it really worth? I have seen them go from 75-200. What are the indicators as to why one seemingly similar drum would sell for more or less than the other? I know that in about 1980, 81 they went to the stupid powdercoat.

Not that I really want to sell my Acrolite, but I don't want to lose out on the other set.

I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a 70's one...but then again I already have two. One was my first drum ever. Other one I picked up for $40.

If I didn't have one and really wanted to have one I guess I would go $125-$150 tops, but they are so common ya know? Seems like they are all over the place for $100. I have my eye out for a nice 60's Acro right now.
