Remember to add your Contact info
And mark the box. “. Trade in option” when mailing me your trade in!
ALSO : WFL PEDALS were built better than the latter speed kings of the 1970’s
wfl pedals came with a tapered rear axil,pressed into the base plate
so since the tapered axil was pressed into base plate,when you pressed your foot
on the floorboard,the axil WAS NOT SPINNING IN THE BASE PLATE!
the floorboard only moved upon the axil thru the bushings
which is why most speed kings have a blown out base plate
egg shaped,,and why 99.9% of wfl’s DO NOT
i guess that wont matter to you,a buyer,as i tear them apart anyway
and put a new axil ,,bushings,ect with a “ e” clip so you now can service it.
I only state this because most people do not realize wfl’s were built better.
pedals no longer come with base pads,these are older photos,pedals also no longer have acess screws on sides of grease caps,however they still look like better than new
Buy it now! refurbished! Vintage chicago ludwig speed king and w.f.l. Bass drum pedals. Every " core" pedal i receive get totally stripped down, all parts are cleaned thoroughly in a ultra-sonic cleaner, the pedal " towers" are cleaned thoroughly, the spring tension adjusting screws threads are "chased" with proper sized tap for smoothe spring adjustment.the adjusting screws are re-surfaced.

I supply 2 spare e clips,,a small container of my blue lube( for your axle servicing) ---i also supply a free set of my bass drum hoop protectors to prevent your speed king's clamp from giving your hoop--"HOOP RASH".  I also polish the floorboards for a better than new look!   Vintage ludwig speed kings and w f l.

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 .. 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--both say “speed king”only one says ludwig the other says WFL--Until conn selmer made them in china with sealed ball bearings (containing one drop if oil)so there was now built in obsolenceThey seized in 3-4,yrs  DUE TO A LACK OF LUBERCATION!!!. My point is this -----w  f l ---pedals are better made than speed kings were.the rear axils were  tapered down and pressed into base plate,,no wearing of base plate,,unlike speed kings!.
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!!I
I will make a steel yoke.
Coming next year the unit with the steel yoke will cost more ----
BUT LAST FOREVER
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
