Are these vintage Vistalites? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

I've never owned Vistalites, so can you Luddy guys tell me if this is vintage or one of the modern reissues? I believe modern repro Bonham sets are still being produced.

Vintage !i One clue is that there are no rubbers on the lugs. the mount could be added but no rubber, vintage.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

Also the 14" tom has six lugs (as it should) while the re-issue has eight.

So it's not a new Ludwig. Of course there are counterfeit Vistas out there and they would likely get the number of lugs right...but then they would have used a rail mount too. These look good to me.

It's just whenever I see a vista canister throne it makes me wonder since hardly anyone was still using canister thrones by then (at least around these parts).

No matter what that's a cool set.
