Old stiga blade part 2

Hey!

Do you remember my old thread About my stiga super carbon with stellan b handle?

Here it is: http://www.mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5023&KW=mrt4

 

And now, its time again!

I got an old blade for free at my work today! The rubber was all cracked up so they were going to throw it away. Idiots! I saw the old handle and thought what a waste!

The blade had 2 red yasaka rubbers on it. I think there names was "agaton" something, the rubber looked like sh*t! Old, dried and so on.

Like last time the sponge was very very hard to get of the blade, it tooked like 2 hours.

Finaly i sandpapered the surface a little bit and put 2 layers of varnish on both sides.

The blade is a little heavy, its weight is about 95gr.

The blade is an old stiga blade, to bad the blue label is damaged. The blue label once said: Kjell Johansson world champion or something like that.

Take a look at the nails in the handles ( the red rings) on the 2nd pic. This should mean that it is a pretty old blade right? Wonder how old? Except for the bad label the blade look really good, no cracks or damaged edges or anything. The label in the bottom says: "Godk�nd av SBTF"= Approved by the swedish table tennis association.

Here are some pictures:

All old Stiga blades are allround blades but faster as todays allround blades. After the middle of the 70s Stiga produced three kind of blades: allround, offensive and defensive. These infos are written at the head of the racket. If there aren't info about the style on the blades you know that a racket was produced before the middle of the 70s.
