Oh snap! Looks a bit crooked around the sixpack area as well. But it IS an industrial SSK...

that poor industrial ssk :(

did you disassemble it and check why it looks so bend on the right side? (last pic)

Something's buckling besides those springs.

But it is an industrial. So hard luck status depends on how much you paid for it.

I think I paid like... 7 or 8 "full massage" for it. ^^

Probably dis and reassembly will fix the aesthetics. That doesn't look like a crack to me near the logo, looks like gunk.

just received something with your autograph on it...

sadly both boards with a lots of broken rivets and crack(s) in the barrel plate... and dirty. and one also with a broken bracket in the bottom shell. :( :(

One fully working, the other one only partial. :cry:

Please kick your "source" in the ass.

Being able to test whether they're working ==> these aren't Kishsavers you're talking about. More roughed up SSKs?

George did a nice job restoring a well cracked barrel plate in his, recently. It's never good news, but most things are fixable. I just wonder what motivated someone to save SSKs for all these years but not treat them right.

Heck. I tried all of them and they work ok. :/

Get on to irc and I'll give you a solution.

ymmd. :)
Please tell this to the people pulling 40 year old luxury sport cars out of dusty barns. Nice read: catacombs of Naples
Scenario: A company using SSKs phased those out in favor of new boards, say SSK II. Employee finds those in the bin, takes them home to make a buck or two. No ones interested, so he tucks them away in the cellar. 15years later he dies/moves/remembers only to find there are some weird people paying top dollars for old crap.
It's not like anyone would have paid 100 k€ for a VW T1 Samba in the eighties -like they do today... :?

My guess is that some Chinese guy scored a container of US recycling "waste".
