[COLOR="DarkRed"]Wow - exquisite example of a 60's era - this one has tons of hammering going on both machine and hand. Howzit sound ? lf the rivet holes are clean probably worth about $125 or so.[/COLOR]

I would think $125 is very conservative.

By the way, how do you take those pictures Kevin?

yeah man, hows it sound? That could be my xmas present!

Thanks Jaye .... I think six rivet are a bit much... it's pretty thin, and the sustain is choked off a little.... very silvery with a light stick.... lots of bottom and a nice wash when spanked with more intention (ooh !). The rivet holes are clean. Thanks for the valuation !

Thanks Leray1 .... Man, I've got a low end Canon PowerShot A470... set to macro, flash on auto, in the auto mode, iso on high, and the "M" setting (whatever that is) on 1600x1200.... I have the cymbal placed on a dark table, and I hold the camera directly above so it just fits in the screen, about two feet above the cymbal. There's a 60 watt cfl table lamp about three feet away on either side, and no other light in the room. I am absolutely not a good photographer, I stumbled on this combo quite by accident.

Thanks for the valuation !

Now Lucky .... If you've been good this year, I'll get you the same thing for Christmas this year that I got you last year ...... x-mas3

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Leray - good point IF the cymbal wasn't drilled.

Kevin replied with the answer to the question I was next gonna ask: weight.

Unfortunately, it's a thin.... drilled for SIX rivets.

DOH D'OH ! That's where I feel its value drops.

[SIZE="5"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I pity to FOO who drilled this here Zildjian !!!!!!![/FONT][/SIZE] Mister T

Man, a nice hand-hammered thin 19" 60's A...and some jackass drilled it ! WTF are folks thinking about when they drill a thin, washy cymbal ???? Granted, it is possible it was factory...but the question is still the same: what the hell were they thinking ?

Without the holes, it would have been worth nearer $200.

Bet it still sounds great, but rivet holes do usually reduce a ride's value....especially so many of 'em.....[/COLOR]

Not so certain they aren't factory rivet holes...19" w/6 rivets was a factory setup in 60's (I owned one). Also, very hard for someone to drill those holes equally spaced on the same centerline all around...I would vote for a factory 19" sizzle

Doh! I got lots to learn about cymbals.

Kevin, thanks for the tips. I've got a Canon S5IS, and much like my brain, I only use about 15% of it.
