2 questions for the group.
I'm planning to replace the blocks on my DSII (#5668) and wonder if these are the originals circa 1970 -- does anyone know? See photos attached.
Also, given that these are a bit worn out, don't respond well, I plan to upgrade them -- does anyone have recommended block upgrades they've done for the jib fairlead block and mainsheet block?
Thanks!
