I'm curious if anyone, anywhere, has a Henry Grossman era Duplex kit, or even a picture of one. I can't find another one and I've searched everywhere.Walking

I've been telling you, they are incredibly rare.

The #'s are right up there with W/A sets from the 70's. I'd bet each set was hand assembled.

Very cool. Looks like it's about 85% Rogers with a change of lugs, badge and use of something close to a W&A tom mount. That mount is not too different from the one built for Gretsch.

These kits are Rogers with different hardware, having owned one for the last few months I can tell you they sound exactly like any 60's Rogers kit I've owned. The hardware may be different, but it's by no means inferior, the quality is top notch and they were made in the old Rogers Cleveland plant. The only real difference is the rarity, which baffles me as to why no one has shown a lick of interest in my black diamond pearl kit in the fs section.
