A Drum like that here in the States could easily bring $150 due to the fact that it looks period correct, right down to the Snare Wires, so it probably hasn't been messed with too much, if at all, over the years...............

Very nice example of the Acrolite. 150-180 wouldnot be unreasonable.
A newer Acrolite can be had for 75-100. I recently purchased one for 64 dollars in absolute perfect condition.

...Every drummer at one point or another should own an acrolite and a Chad Smith sig.

Great drum. I have one that was probably made the same day, it's so close. I got mine with some off-brand snare strainer, though, which I replaced with a P-85, so mine is a "player's" drum now, I guess. But it's my favorite snare, and I use it with any kit I play.

Here it is at a recent gig:

I don`t like the P85 throw off , they kept breaking on me. So I put a P86 on mine and haven`t had a problem since.The drum still sounds great. I also removed the internal muffler.
