Are these good bindings?

I've been wanting to get a pair of FKS/P18's for a while, but I found these on a pair of my dad's old skis. They do a din to 12. I know the heelpieces are good, but how are the toes on these? Should I mount them on my park skis or should I drop another 250$ for some FKS155's. Also, what are these bindings called?

those toes look new enough to be perfectly usable. however, there's a chance they won't pass when the shop tests them before/while mounting them, so just be aware of that possibility.

the heel looks the same but im not familiar with the toe. if you had a pair of px series or p series you could use the toe from those.

yes. same heel(very similar) to todays, much different toe. Get a cheap set of axiums or novas, and use the toes from them

wait, no, they suck sooooooo much. You should just sell them to me for a very low price. Or you could just sell me the crappy heels,for an even lower price.

yeah those bindings are great, i have much older look turntables similar to the alberto tomba bindings, they work like a charm. just make sure you test the release on them.
