i recently bought this off eBay and would like to know something about it, and the company. I saw another board that said "Venice, California". Were they made there?
I am also looking for a picture of the logo.
It seems like everything on it is original parts, but I'm not sure about the wheels.
The trucks are marked with an "X".
Still rides like a dream!

We got one without kicktail at the museum and the wheels have an X on them too.
I think It´s the original ones.

These wheels had no X on them. I guess they are changed then.
And I got a picture of the logo now, so I won't need another.
I have changed wheels to 66mm ZZ and I can't stop skating it! My other boards instantly became quite boring, hehe!

Got more info now.
The trucks are the first ones made by Xcaliber in around 73-74, but the deck is later and dated at about 75-76.
Appearently, it was "a good find".
Now with 66ZZ on it.
Will check on the wheels too.
