Wore out three sets of tires already!
Hey Chris I’ll see what they say about the pedal dates, but I don’t recall a single mention. Lots of discussion about proper pedals for various models and years
Thought you might like to see my CD
Purchased from original owner few years ago. Very nice original paint. Rear tire changed at some point.

Nice little sound room as well!! Good to have things around that were made with skill and care.

I was thinking the same thing.
Mike, Awesome stereo equipment. I see one of the top of the line units …. Marantz.
My last stereo set up was Bose 901 hanging from the ceiling powered by a massive professional Hafler amp.
Minds that think alike!

WOW, Twins
Your CD is beautiful.
You need a W/W SLIK on that J39.
Take more photos all around of this Survivor. Seat looks great.
Thanks for sharing this ‘68 and those tunes.

Agree, some of the vintage McIntosh tube gear I own and those monster receivers from brands like Marantz and Pioneer are so well built and should last longer than me! What's challenging these days are finding reputable technicians to keep them up and running. I've learned to do some simple stuff like swapping capacitors, refoaming woofers, but when it gets into restoration, I'm outta my league. The vintage stereo repair is a dying art, many are retiring or worse and not as many are learning the skills. I sure hope this gear doesn't become obsolete as a result. Parts too are getting harder to find.

Thanks Chris, I've been into the vintage audio gear for years before the Stingrays. Must admit alot of my gear sits idle now as I'm more focused on the bikes.
Good eye, that is the Marantz 2500 with the scope, was their TOTL and commands a pretty penny these days with collectors. I also have the flagship Pioneer, the SX 1980, another beastly monster receiver. My main interest is in the separates, pre amps and power amps, and I've got a ton of that gear in my main room, LOL, no bikes in that little studio! Mostly solid state and tube McIntosh gear

Thanks, they sure are twins
I probably have the right Slik in my stash, just never got to swapping it out, but I think I will now
I'll get some more pics soon and post them up here - this is definetely one of my best originals, maybe the best LOL
BTW - I randomly checked some pedals - 65 DA with correct style pedals has no dates on them, while one of my original FG Ghosts with the diamond small clear reflectors is stamped " 1 1"

When I'm vending at a swap meet and you walk a potentially pristine 68' Super Sport past me, know this: It must be OG. Except for maybe a period correct B.15 that was preserved in Bees Wax. It must be dirty enough to have preserved everything underneath, yet no rust beyond surface. It can have...

Yep!
In my search for a set of these mid 70’s pedals, I inadvertently discovered that some of them are stamped with what appears to be a date, and some are not.
I needed a set for a 73 J-38, so I went ahead and defaulted for a set that did not have any date markings.
The earliest date stamp I saw, was 75, so maybe that’s about the time they started stamping these type of pedals?
Here’s a set that were stamped 76
