[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9608811, member: 84"]I found these today at my friend's thrift store; they were priced at $149 which is usually too much for me, but when I picked one up I was amazed at the weight - at least 20 pounds? - and the fact that all the screws - including a large one on the bottom of the base - were the older circa 1960s/1970s slot screws, and finally the control bands for the counter weight arms are wire, not cheap rubber band types. Also the cord is a cloth? wrapped cord, but it looks so new maybe it is a replacement? The only real worry I have is I can't find a maker's name anywhere? Does anyone know who made these? Their age? Most importantly - did I do good at $150?? Thank you!
