Popular Post collinb Posted August 6, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 There are some purchases that are for learning and later upgrading. (People may differ on the degree bit the principle remains.) Then there are some things which are keepers. Had been watching videos which included use of these. But I didn't like eBay prices. When this came up for $60 at a local estate tag sale I was first in line. Even has the original 1968 sales receipt.

Eric. Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Definitely a keeper. Nice hag's tooth. Make sure the sole is dead flat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Heck yeah it is. The model 71 in decent shape is still selling for +$80 50 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Put a thin board on the bottom to aid stability. I use 1/4" plexiglass with a hole for the blade on my #71. For those few times when you don't need the board take it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the P version generally goes>$125, though cheaper on occasion. Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 And 75 years from now, your heirs can get 3 times as much in your estate sale! Neat find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat find. In 75 years I would be 135. A nice thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
