Hello all, I have a 9 piece vistalite kit with a serial number 1533714. I know that the serial numbers weren't ever "documented" but I'm trying to get an idea of about how old the kit is. I was thinking 1979 ish but when I researched I found out I have a badge that has (2) rounded corners and (2) pointed ones. So it kinda confused me now thinking it can be a bit older. Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks[Attachment: 85535]

Sounds like you have two different years of manufacture here but i`ll let the Big Boys who know weigh in here with this one.

I bought the kit back in the late 80's from then a known drum store in Chicago, it's the original kit, all the shells and hardware were there along with the cases. I'm actually thinking of selling it, so trying to get an idea of what it could be worth. That's why I have been researching it a little more in depth.

Well, black is probably one of the lesser desirable of vistalites. Next to clear. I'd say value $1,000 in excellent condition..but just a guess.

The 1976 date was based on Richard Gier's excellent dating guide which I recommend you buy. :)
