14" Tom cradle R-Kings Last viewed: 4 hours ago

Posts: 245 Threads: 21

Hello All,

I was lucky enough to become a 40's Radio King club member this weekend. 13x9, 14x11, 16x16 w legs RK sn. 24 BD. . . .26BD. . . I will not clip mount the 14 on the BD as IMHO is not playable. However it would be killer as 1 up 2 down.. I need a cradle for it please. . . Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. It is my first experience with these wonderful drums and quite frankly, I find them to be awesome and I am hooked... . I can post pix if you like. . . Many Thanx gents. . . .

I had one just like Rich King's on eBay,and it got bid up to $150 at the last second!

Funny thing is,I have 2 Slingerland ones right now..............

1 is rusted out pretty good,I just cleaned up the other today with Blue Magic polish,and it is looking pretty nice!

Only prob......I talked to someone the other night who might be into the nicer one........if he doesn't come thru,I'll get a hold of you Joey..........

Couldn't resist commenting. The last photo in that auction. "New Product Developments." The Leedy Tom-Toms are now TUNEABLE!

I think that was a "sliced bread" moment, right? Love it!
