When I first started working with P/W back in 84 the gentleman that then ran the factory told me that the first shipment of 800B's to leave the factory was hi-jacked never to be seen again. The insurance company ordered that they start over again with a break in the ser.#s and begin again at 500. Since then I have worked on a number of the "Stolen" machines at the PA state and other shoots here on the east coast. The earliest machines are easy to spot as they don't have the handle "Stop block" and the owners manual says to put a 1 in. block of wood there. The base is smaller and they are much heavier as the under sides of the tool head, cross head and base weren't hollowed out. The best way to estimate the age of your machine is to figure that P/W makes about 1000 machines a year in the 800/900/2000 type so starting at 64 work your way up to your ser. #. That isn't exact but it will be within a year. I plan on working the PA, MD, VA, NY State shoots this year, hope to see you all there.

Just realized that my above should have given the start dates for figuring the age of P/W's. For the 800B and 800C use the 64 date. For the 800 Convertable use 84 as a start date and for the 900's use 88. The 1000's use 89 and for the 2000 use 2000. Sorry about the oversight but I think of the 800's whenever I think of P/W and while I see the later models as (Mostly) improved modifications, the 800's are the heart of the company and I am glad to see the reintroduction of the 800 (2003) and the demise of the 950.

 

These are great workhorse machines. Jim, the serial number on this machine is 12549. Works great just like a new one.
