Hi

My perkins is a 1972 version. I got it just after I went blind at age 4. Its 
been cleaned and updated once. I need to get it cleaned again but the cash 
is going other places right now. Smile.

God bless,
Mark (WZ0K)

Jim,
My folks bought my Perkins when I graduated from eighth grade in
1953.  Went to a neighborhood boys Catholic high school so had to
bring my own gear.  So, sixty-one years and never had it serviced -
covers have never been removed and it still moves properly and writes
good dots.
My wife has one just about as old but it has been cleaned and
adjusted.  The old Perkins just keep on tickin'!
