www.oldsnowboards.com Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 yep, m68 ? Cool DT, isn't this what we were just talking about??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Brian this is the one although I don't remember a 6.8 being an option. the graphics are right though. I sent him a message. He's really high for a starter price isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 is the five whole cant really all that rare? I have a newer PJ M with the five whole plates and a rather large five whole cant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just assumed the 5 holer lift ( is it a cant, or just a lift ) plate was rare...I 've just never spotted one before...I wouldn't want to look for one... Very Cool historic stuff though, to the right audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 cant was built in to the binding and this would be a lift plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I recall one of the flat mounted 5 hole variplates I had was canted...Good useless information! ( much like my knowledge of vintage VW outside mirrors and semaphores and such ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 :lol: Now now ....there is nothing new under the sun but that which has been forgotten........ you never know when that bit of trivia might come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just assumed the 5 holer lift ( is it a cant, or just a lift ) plate was rare...I 've just never spotted one before...I wouldn't want to look for one...Very Cool historic stuff though, to the right audience. Those were called power plates. Both cant and lift built in. The ammount varied based on the angle you ran the plate, and what angle you ran the binding on top of the plate. (I sold all of mine on ebay in the last couple of years...) The variplates had the opion of cant built in. If i remember correctly you could also run the back binding flat. (I'll have to look, I've got this board sitting in my garage, with variplates, and the original heel lift - which was plastic, not the power plate this guy has on this board.) Oh, and ya the price is high. The M6's are almost a dime-a-dozen...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 We have a winner! Had the actual name of the part down even! Nicely done. That price IS crazy though, for wall art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
