FOR LACK OF A BETTER NAME, I'M CALLING THIS A TRANSITIONAL KIT. I'M REFERRING TO THAT SHORT PERIOD IN THE MIDDLE OF LUDWIGS VISTALITE PRODUCTION WHEN THE MUFFLER MOVED TO A POSITION DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE MOUNT. THE BADGE REMAINED WHERE IT WAS FOR A BRIEF TIME AND THEN JOINED THE MUFFLER ON THE SAME PANEL. THIS IS WHERE THE PAIR REMAINED UNTIL PRODUCTION WAS HALTED IN 1980.
OF COURSE, THIS ONLY AFFECTED THE MOUNTED TOMS AND THE REST OF THE KIT REMAINED THE SAME UNTIL FURTHER PRODUCTION CHANGES WERE MADE.
