Bernard-

As a matter of fact they did. See attached image grab from the last Centuri catalog in 1983. The 1982 catalog still shows the sloped deflector. So, that would seem to pin this one down to 1983. Maybe one of the last few off the assembly line back in the day.

Gee, I could have looked that up myself. Silly me.

Thanks. That does certainly date the one on eBay as one from the last of the Powr-Pads.

Still no bids on the first one. Maybe because of the relatively high shipping cost. This one is a builder's kit because the packaging is not perfect.

Interestingly I am building one of these right now that I got from a guy in France with some other kits. I paid a lot less than $75.

Whether or not this is a "deal" depends on your perspective I suppose.

Some stuff in there I'd like, but don't want the whole lot.

The seller "American Pickers" - any relation to the TV show?

Highway ROBBERY price.
Another seller SMOKING CRACK.
