What the heck is it?
« on: January 17, 2006, 09:50:52 AM »

Hi Guys & Gals

I am hoping someone can enlighten me 'cause enquiring minds want to know.

I bought this sled second hand from Howard at MK-V and they don't know what the heck it is. There are no identifying marks anywhere except the top satge which has 0001 hand engraved on the side. It is fairly well machined and works well enough but I really would like to know what to call it.

Cheers
Norbert

It's an older GPI-PRO sled. An outstanding find!

According to that thread it's a little bit of a franken-rig. Quite interesting.

Franken rig is correct.

This sled has definatly made the rounds on the forums! And ot much discussion, there seem to be parts from all over in that thing.  - Mostly old CP seld parts.

"has 0001 hand engraved on the side"
Well, it's the first "whatever" one, that's for sure!  Grin
