Thanks for the input, everyone! Safety is definitely a concern so all advice will be taken to heart.

Hey all, When I was growing up on the east coast, I was firmly in the hard boot alpine carve world (hated the old soft boot lace tightness issue) until I took a break from snowboarding throughout my 20s. Now I’m in my 40s and every winter it’s been awesome going to new resorts. I recently dug out my old Raichle 125’s and Burton Alp 5.7 and was thinking of using it for next season. However, it seems that 1) my liners in the boots are disintegrating after 25 years of non use and 2) the 3 hole pattern of the bindings aren’t compatible with the modern 4 hole system and 3) are the boots even safe to use? I was able to throw my Burton Photon wide liners into the Raichle shells and it feels decently comfortable, but the collar seems a little thin compared to the old liners. Is this okay or should I look into getting some Intuition liners? Also, if I want to use the hard boots on my modern board (Solomon Speedway or Rossi Sushi), is there an adapter plate or 4 hole disc so I can use my old Burton bindings or can someone point me in the direction of a decent modern binding that won’t break the bank? Thanks in advance!
