Premier Royal Ace Small Badge Last viewed: 4 hours ago

Posts: 4 Threads: 3

Hi everybody. This is Johan from Sweden and I am new at this forum. I am looking for info on the Premier Royal Ace Small badge snare. I purchased it about a week ago and I am very pleased with it but someone had tampered with the strainer mechanism, there are missing screws and dents in the strainerholder. My plan is to restore this wonderful snare into a original condition or atleast a good working condition. I am grateful for all info on restoring Royal ace snares and spareparts list, info regarding the threading( is it withworth ?) . Please forgive my bad english

cheers //Johan

Though they are indeed "wonderful' snare drums, they are stupidly under-valued in the current vintage marketplace. The up side of that is that you can purchase one in excellent working condition for a relatively modest cost. On the other hand, ironically, the down side of a restoration is the scarcity and costliness of spare parts.

Best of luck.

Those are wonderful snares and definitely worth restoring.

Any chance of posting some pictures ?

Here some pictures for your reference.

I would keep my eyes open on ebay.co.uk
