Not sure whatever happened to his original one, but I saw one just like his at a flea market in near pristine condition, I had to get it. I knew my brother had a fondness for those memories of my dad as well, so fortunately, I found another one just like my dad's old one on eBay shortly after I got this one so when I won the auction, I sent it to my brother as a surprise. It was great, and he loves it like my dad loved his just because it's so much a part of my dad.

My father had an identical one. Can’t tell you have many transmissions on 2x8’s that thing help roll under cars. And yes, getting one to roll straight was almost impossible!
