Contact me if you have a set of these castings, believe they were around 1/5th scale and previously sold by a co. in Ohio that no longer answers request for their advertised product.
Have you buddy in NJ send me his list of shapers for sale including price and condition of each and I will be glad to look at them. NJ is too far to drive for me but he may be interested in shipping. Have him send his list to [email protected]
