I recently purchased a 2nd hand Saito 65. I am wondering it's year of production. It has what appears to be a "U" on the top of the right hand mounting bearer & a smaller <HH> on the bottom of the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Jon B,

Here is another thing to consider - in this day of digital software imaging, it is very easy (and unintentional) to make things appear to be something very different. Here is Bill's pic...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks Proptop - you have convinced me that I definately need a 3 jaw puller. Nearly lunch time here so the hunt is now on.

Hi Ray,
