Morning all
Can anyone date this beam for me?I have not seen one like this before.The Bottom bar it made up with two pieces back to back and is a lot thinner in gauge that the other exampes i seen in other royal aces.

It's not a Flobeam. That came later with the advent of the 2000.

Hi Dug thanks for the offer but i managed to do the job yesterday.I did struggel a tad.Especailly when i finally got the beam in the shell and them realized i was surposed to attact a plate on the through side first and then before that a nut was not in its place so i could not get a fixing on one side through the shell.
I was dreading the job when i saw the bag of bits i was given but i had another snare to referr to and it was a good learning curve,I reckon i could through one together i no time now.
The snare the beam went into looks great.Its a small (P) WMP piccolo.Got the shell off ebay about a year ago for peanuts and have been waiting all this time for the beam.Strange beam this one though different to the other three i have in other aces?
Thanks
Martin

'Floating snare' action I think.
