If I were you, I would not get that drum.

I'd wait and find an old Acrolite, pre-70's ... and for that same price: $100-150 just for the drum.

A blacrolite with case and stand? For $100 it's a nice package. $150 is WAY too much. I paid $75 a few years back for mine with just the case and the muffler was missing. The '60s Acrolites were nice (I had one) but mid '70s and up until the Black versions appear to be affected by QC or material differences, some nice sounding and some not so nice. Muffler was $25 (got it at Woodwind & Brasswind) so there is a bargaining point if this one is missing.

I put a generic 42 strand wire set on mine, replaced the muffler (I like them), run Attack TB Sig. heads, and recently threw a S-hoop on batter side. Jury is out on the S-hoop overall but the cross-stick is a huge improvement. It's my middle of the road snare, used for mid to loud volume gigs.

Acrolites are all good. About a year ago I bought eleven of them, one at a time, fixed them up and sold them on eBay (kept one for myself, a 1976). I had old ones, new ones, every era except the pre-70s. They ALL sounded great. The hardware's a little cheaper on the Blacrolite (namely the throw-off) but it works just fine.

To me the sound difference was negligible, if there was any at all. The Blacros sounded great, just like the older Acros. They all have the same shell and as far as I could tell the same sound. If anything, the Blacros were more consistent than the older Acros.

Yeah that's probably an early 90's model.  I've got an acrolite from around '88 and even though it's not "vintage", it's still a great sounding snare.

Mine has that kind of dull greyish finish so it's not the most attractive snare with my amber colored kit but the sound matters more to me.  Mine came with a 20 strand snare which is pretty standard for these types of snares.  I may change it out witha higher strand count and see how it sounds.

Anyway, if you can get him down to closer to a $100, that would be a good deal since that has all of the original accessories with it.
