Earlier this year, a local small village upgraded their town hall
auditorium seating and recouped thousands of dollars selling the chair
shells on eBay. I was surprised at what a 50-year-old hunk of
fiberglass sells for now.
I would like to get a few square metres of vintage
raised floor tiles, but have not had
much luck here in Oz. That's something that would be prohibitively expensive to
import.
No ideas yet on how to replicate them but couldn't be too hard.
I have some steel-backed tiles that were newish in 1982 and from the
weight, they would be incredibly expensive to send to Oz.
More recent tiles I've seen are aluminum-backed and weigh far less,
but they aren't period-correct for the late 60s.
