+1 to this. I had an original I bought with my grass cutting money 
It *is* my personal favorite Centuri kit.

... and a +1 to this. The wraps on this one appear to be in great shape. I can certainly see the value in having a sealed kit in a collection but for myself this would be the one to buy where I can actually see the condition of the wraps.
If I were looking to obtain one this would be the one to go for although those wraps may not last ten minutes in our Louisiana humidity. I’d probably no sooner remove it from the box and that nice pristine wrapped tube would bubble up like bologna in a frying pan ...
