70s Acro Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 1725 Threads: 135

I have a friend here looking for a 70's Acrolite. I have one that I purchased through this very forum but I want to keep it. Around $100+ shipping to New Zealand? Let me know if you have anything suitable.

Thanks

Andrew

thanks Longjohn but it's already at $114 Aussie dollars and 7 days to go. I suspect it'll get a bit high for my mate.

I have a great aluminum Ludwig "Standard". Sounds great. Might be a great alternative to an acro.

Thanks Drums008 and Longjohn but my buddy purchased one from ebay yesterday - a nice original 70s one. Thanks again for your suggestions though.

Longjohn - so you and you son are the type who get on the plane trying to stuff giant bags in the overhead locker while the rest of the passengers wait to get to their seatsLoLoLoLo

On the contrary...

An Acro, snare head off, stuffed full of clothing fits easily to a standard piece of carry on luggage...no extra space needed... even customs thought it was a good idea.. no extra bag... or freight ..
