I am wondering if you or any of your bloggers know of a place to get a replacement base for one of these TLT's. I have a mid-90's set-up with the neon green and have a hairline crack in one of the bases near a screw head. Is it possible to replace this part? Great museum and overall website. Hi, Lou.

I am wondering if you or any of your bloggers know of a place to get a replacement base for one of these TLT’s. I have a mid-90’s set-up with the neon green and have a hairline crack in one of the bases near a screw head. Is it possible to replace this part?

Great museum and overall website.

Most springs are double, one inside the other, but the binding works with a single spring, just ends up with a much lower release setting.

I bought them, they weight more then the TLT's, sit very low on the ski and the rotation is pretty rough- so probably won't use them; but cool to look at. A question- do they only have a single spring in them? Mine were in pieces- so grabbed the regular springs; but tough to turn?

Paul had the concept ages before Dynafit came out. Given the article he wrote describing it and showing photos of the prototype, it's likely that somebody in Europe noticed. After all, the Euros borrowed his heel elevator too. To be fair, even if it never reached production, the Ramer 2-pin system should get credit for starting the revolution.
