Spoke to a top guy about the cymbal we saved from the rubbish tip (see earlier posts but to cut to the chase - a 20" Paiste Formula 602 Ride Cymbal worth quite a few quid!).
He told me all sorts of details - shouldn't accept anything less than £100 which is great. He also said sit on it until the dollar gets some value back as it will appeal to US buyers. He also gave me this top tip if the serial number is at 6 o'clock and the stamped logo is at 12 o'clock then at three o'clock there will be a classification - it might not be easy to see sometimes you have to catch it exactly right in the sunlight and he's right.
Had a look at it in the sunshine and can see it's a medium ride. Which is a shame in a way as the medium rides are the most common of the 20" cymbals. Anyway if you want to buy great classic and new cymbals I'd recommend getting in touch with Julian at Ecymbals; link http://www.ecymbals.co.uk/ and telephone numbers as per logo below. He's also a drum tutor of some renoun see http://www.drumteachers.co.uk/
So am not selling it quite so quickly now! It's a smashing cymbal anyway so might not sell it anyway - am a bit of a hoarder as Janette would tell you!
