Just found out about this forum the other day and really hope I have come to the right place. I am new here so please excuse my ignorance for any of the proper rules of posting as I am in a desperate situation and do not wish to intrude.

I am down to crunch time on trying to locate some parts.

I am in dire need of some vintage Pearl Cymbal stands ... Model #803 from the 69-77 era. They are a heavy duty single braced straight stand. I have attached a photo. Would really like to get them with the tilter that is in the picture posted with this thread.

I am also in need of one 69-77 era Premier Lokfast Cymbal stand as seen in the picture below.

I am working on the restoration of Neil Peart's 1974 Chrome Slingerland kit. The cymbal stands he used were the Pearl 803's. I have two out of the six that I need. So I need to track down four more of these stands with proper tilters. They do not have to be in mint condition as we are restoring the kit to its "used" condition. So some pitting scratches and dings are okay.

I need to get these before the upcoming PASIC convention in Indy 11-14 November.

If you have any or leads to them please email me at [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL]

Any one know how close the knockoff stands made by TKO, Model #903, are to the actual Pearl 803? The stands look similar in small photos but the tilters are off ... I can settle for good stands and locate proper tilters later.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and again my apologies if my post is an intrusion in any way.

ROCK On!
