My bud Steve @ Jumper Surfboards just got it off ebay.  Greased'er, cleaned out old sawdust and polished'er up.  Gorgeous.  Apparently it's THE industry standard in surfboard shaping?

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!
