ANOTHER NOTE:VINTAGE SPEED KINGS WERE MADE BY LUDWIG DRUM CO,WE ALL KNOW THAT.
MR LUDWIG SOLD THE LUDWIG NAME TO CONN SELMER THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CO BACK IN THE LATE 50's...
He was not allowed to make drums or pedals under the name ludwig so he made them under w f l
A K A. William f ludwig
HE THEN BOUGHT HIS NAME BACK UNTIL SELLING THE Company IN THE 1980's
My point is there the same pedals
They were the same thing--- the vintage ones----
Until conn selmer made them in china with sealed ball bearings (containing one drop if oil)so there was now built in obsolence
They seized in 3-4,yrs from lack of lubercation.
My point is this -----w f l ---pedals are better made than speed kings were..
So sometimes i may be low on speed king floor boards so i substitute a w f l floor board...
Sometimes im out of the real rare 5/16 t bolt for hoop clamp,,
So i substitute a modern t handle...
Sometimes the 1/4 x 28 thread pattern beater t bolt is stripped in the chrome yoke where you would tighten the beater,,since that yoke isnt made anymore ----and cant be welded as its zinc---
I re tap it using the t handle from the hoop clamp as its the next size larger at--5/16 thread pattern which is actually stronger
Im in the process of making a steel yoke----
Available next year!
I do not want negative feedback because you wanted a speed king floor board as its the same as a wfl floorboard,,,,,,,and i do not want negative feedback over a stupid bolt thats not available any longer!
Or a yoke that i cant get as i dont own a TIME MACHINE!!
Ill make a steel yoke.
Coming next year the unit with the steel yoke will cost more ---- BUT LAST FOREVER
Your choice upon placing your order
As i state here my speed kings are better than new
Next year they will be even better with a choice of ordering with the steel yoke
THAT WILL COST MORE AS I HAVE TO PAY A MACHINEST/ WELDER TO MANUFACTURE BY HAND! ,,SO IF U ARE CHEAP DONT ORDER IT!
,LUDWIG DRUM COMPANY WANTED TO HIRE ME EARLIER THIS YEAR,,,AS I KNOW MORE ABOUT THERE PEDALS THAN THEY DO OR DID
AND
WHY THERE PEDALS SQUEAKED AND MINE DO NOT,,I TURNED THEM DOWN,,IM RETIRED ,,I WORK FOR CARLCLUBPERCUSSION PRODUCTS. MY COMPANY,,NOT FOR ANY ONE ELSE,,
Thank you
CARL
