10 Lug Acrolite rarity Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Hey all -

Picked up a 70's 10 lug Acrolite w/ unnumbered B/O badge. How rare, & yes, it'd be nice to know general value. Is it that only 60's 10 lug Acrolites have any collectible value -

I had an 8 lug Supra that I sold recently for $550.00.

Not sure how rare it is versus a 10 lug Acro.

***Edit I should also mention that I had a chance to buy a 10 lug Acro but missed it. I thought it was an 8 lug and didn't notice it and it was too late. By then the seller found out and kept it. He was going to sell it to me for $85 and put it on ebay for $1200!!!!

He's dropped the price considerably, but still expensive. It has been on ebay for months. This is it.

Hey Mike -

Here's a pic of the snare. I'm guessing it's a nothing-burger, but a boy can dream - Chris

I wonder since the Acro and Supra are the same shell if it was drilled to be a Supra but somehow missed getting chromed and they just put the bowtie lugs on it and sent it out? Or do they chrome them before drilling them.

Nice and interesting drum. I have a 6 1/2"x14" 10 lug Supra with Chicago Keystone Badge and bowtie lugs. Here it is with my Acro.
