1940 Slingy Radio King 7" x 14" Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 9005 Threads: 266

Title says it all. Drum was painted when I got it. As you can see from photos it cleaned up nicely. The only thing missing on the drum is the little extension arm on the three point strainer. Snares have been replaced.

War drum, it has an aluminum cloud badge. It sounds killer. Priced for quick sale... own a vintage Radio King at an affordable price. Wrap or paint to match your kit!

[COLOR="Red"]$360.00[/COLOR] - you pay shipping from 19607

Won't last long... the parts are worth more than I'm asking for the entire drum!

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Nope, no markings inside the shell. The aluminum cloud badge was only used for two years I believe, 1940/41 (or 41/42 my memory is a little fuzzy about that,) but that is how I dated the drum. At the price I am offering it, you can re-wrap or paint the drum in any finish you choose -and- replace the missing arm on the strainer and still be well below the price of an equivalent (period) Radio King.

It's a good deal...

Yes. It is a good deal. But I already have an almost identical drum. 7x14, RK, aluminum badge with a stripped wrap natural wood finish. Guess that's as close as I can get.

Thanks and good luck.

P.S. Spotted the Slingy bronze in the background. Thanks to you, I have one of those as well.

That deep-dish bronze gets used a lot!

Thanks, stu... c'mon guys... it's a war-time RADIO KING!

They really do not make them like this anymore! Ready to wrap or paint to match your kit. Or, use it as is, it's a truly wonderful sounding snare drum.
