Ahhhhh!!!

I wish it was keystone badge. Have a matching snare!!

Good Luck Hobbs.

I just grabbed a keystone 60s Downbeat with matching snare for less than 2k. It was around 1800...some rust on the lugs, and not museum condition, but pretty good considering the age. I'm just now putting new heads on them and they're tuning up nicely...mine is champagne. Already had a 60s super classic champagne, so this is the "brother" for that kit.

Thanks boys -

Dying to know how the early 70's Downbeat 12/14/20 compares. Better, worse? 1k, 2k, $500 ...

Good question. Keystone badge will command higher prices in general. Check eBay completed listings to get an idea...

Already checked the closed lists & there ain't much happening there. I may buy the wmp 12/14/20 - but am also considering a trade + $ for my '66 Ludwig sliver sparkle 13/16/20. Last thing I want to do is make a bad trade. If his kit were a 60's downbeat I realize I'd be paying him some change -

I would keep the 66. I prefer the look of the older kits as well as the sound.
