Seek Antique Leedy Drum Parts for American Photoplayer By Nate Otto
Hi Folks! I recently discovered much of the bass drum hardware in my
Style 15 Fotoplayer isn't original. I'm still determined to put this
instrument back to looking as original as possible. Also, the next
Fotoplayer coming into the shop later this summer has a snare drum
that isn't original. I would like to make that right as well.
I'm looking for some antique (from late 'teens and 1920s) Leedy parts
to purchase:
* 3 wing nuts with 10-24 thread (see photos)
* 8 tension rods at least 8" long with 10-24 thread (see photos for
head type)
* 8 x 24" bass drum shell with maple veneer
And for a Tango snare I'm putting back together I need:
* (x6) 5" tension rods
* 5" x 13" shell with maple veneer.
Any leads would be appreciated!
