Yesterday got a C1 Connors, looks just like a T2000.

Also a pair of Pro Kennex Intruders.

And a Yonex R22.

It has been over 2 months that I visited the local thrift store and today paid off: a mint Snauwaert Gerulaitis Autograph woodie and dito Maxply McEnroe.
I passed on a Caldon One in less than 6/10 condition and also left a few Snauwaert Dyno's behind.

Hans, I am looking for a Boron Dyno to complete my collection of Snauwaert. That shop didn't have one of those, did it?

This week, I was traveling in Southern California, and found three matching Völkl Tour 10 (gen. 1) MP's, a Dunlop 200g Muscle Weave, an Estusa XJT Professional, a Prince CTS Approach 110, a Head XRC, Head Graphite Edge SE, and a nice old Davis Imperial with a Fairway grip.

Does anyone have a good source for the Tour 10 MP grommets? They are a rather CAP-like or Fischer Vacuum Pro Classic-like bumper, full-length and split into two halves.

^^ No Retro,
the Dyno's were the Graphite models and Lady.
Plus a Golden Graphite.

Yesterday, Puma Boris Becker Super. So happy

v-verb · 02-10-2013, 04:53 PM

Found a nice Spalding GC 20 with cover yesterday. $6. 368 g so it is heavy but swings real nice.

Can't wait to give it a hit.

207nytro · 02-19-2013, 06:48 PM

Picked up a prince graphite 110 today. Bumper has a crack and a couple paint chips but decent shape! In my area i doubt i will find any brand new vintage rackets.

You found a Puma?

Pictures please!

slowfox · 02-20-2013, 03:04 AM

I don't have any pics to post, but it's the red/blue one. The top of the frame has some scuffing, but otherwise the stick is in great condition. Cost me less than a sandwich...

Steve_j_theo · 02-20-2013, 06:30 AM

I found a Puma Super with the Becker insert card, turn key and cover

That looks near brand new!

tbuggle · 03-01-2013, 07:11 PM

was always odd how Becker had his Puma's strung, outer mains were never parallel to next string, he skipped a grommet at the bottom IIRC.
