Thanks for all you do with this channel. I just picked up this model from a neighbor, he kept it in fantastic condition. For years I had been using a version from the 2010s that constantly had me frustrated (the plastic leg keepers kept breaking and the legs would constantly swing and hit my legs, awful). This model on the other hand is night and day, wish I had explored vintage models sooner, your video helped me on my hunt.
Many owners think the older ones are better made than the newer ones. Try to look at several , including at least one 79-001 (which would be from the 1974-1982 period) and one newer one to see how they feel to you.
