I learned to hang doors with the same tool.  The company I used to work for still uses it.  It is probably 30+ years old.  That is impressive tool life. I wasn't crazy about the fence myself and opted for the PC 126 when I bought for the fence and depth adjustment on the fly.

I think it's more of an "Iconic Grail" than a standard  Smile

Guys will pay over $1000 for 50+ year old example. I'm surprised there hasn't been a rebirth!
