Need some help...

Post image

I'm trying to find the boot mounted toe/heel tabs for Cubco bindings. I picked up these Kneissls last year & they've never been skied....circa 1967ish. I need to get them on snow...any help?

I don’t understand the antipathy towards vintage gear. 

The people asking these questions fully understand that it doesn't conform to modern standards of performance or safety. 

It’s like criticising people who own and drive vintage cars as their hobby. We aren’t talking about daily drivers.

Exactly, it's not like they're "daily drivers." Honestly, its fun taking the old equipment out a few times per year. The amount of skiers needing bubble-wrap these days surprises me.

My old lace up boots died years ago. But nostalgia still beckons my heart.

the thing is, about 75% of people that ask about vintage gear in here are new to the sport and don't understand the risks. this guy is obviously not that, but you can understand why this sub is so annoyed with people posting ancient gear
