picked these bad boys up at a thrift shop and the bindings are ridiculous! The toe piece swivels side to side and the heel piece release's laterally like the FKS style ones. Picked the skis up with bindings for $20.
Also, Olin Mark IV twins from who know's when. Remounted them at center, craaaaaazy ski haha.

That binding later turned into the FKS/Pivot. The internal workings are pretty much the same although I don't think the toe does 180 degree release like the modern ones. Also don't be surprised if the DIN range is like 2-7

This is super sick! Just a warning though, those pivots were known to be death traps back in the day.....don't fall :)
