Thread: Camco

    Default Camco

    So I recently did a trade with someone and he threw in a pair of Camco single pedals. They look pretty old but function fine (other than the fact that neither one came with a beater, but besides that...)
    My question is, what are Camco single pedals usually worth? I definitely don't need 2 of them so I may sell at least one and I have never even seen one of these before. The only writing on it at all is Camco.

    Any help is apreciated!

    Pics would really help.

    with an ebay search to get a basic idea...

    The older 60's style ran from: $80-$125

    newer style: $40-$60

    Of course these are asking / Buy It Now prices...not necessarily what they're worth. One can get a general idea though.

    I have one of the older 60's ones that came with my Camco kit a couple years ago.

    Camco made the older ones. After the DW/Tama buyout Tama began manufacturing them. Still the same pedal, just anything 60's Camco is highly desirable.

    Its funny because the DW5000 and Iron Cobra are both based on the Camco pedal.

    Don't the newer ones also have Tama on them somewhere, then? or no? I will try to get a picture tomorrow, but the only writing at all is Camco.

    If the pedal looks like a 5000 footboard with Camco written on it, then it's an older Camco one. If it says Camco by Tama and is a somewhat plain grey footboard it's a "Tamco" pedal and not as desirable, but not a bad pedal. In fact it's almost the same pedal, the main differences are the foot pedal, and then the hinge.

    This is the older Camco Pedal:


    This is the "Tamco" pedal:

    The only two constants I have are DW and Zildjian.

    I have an old gretsch pedal exact mold,looks the same except says gretsch on it.(the older version) I put a sealed rear hinge bearing (DW) on it and it fit perfect.I use it as a spare or as a matter of fact not at all.
