Aha - so that was the other one that was sold :-)

I built one (in an apartment!) in the circa 1968 time frame. It
actually worked fairly well with two exceptions. One was that the
centrifugal clutch had a fairly short life span. The other was that the
ski was totally useless - I'd assume that the ski would come as part
of the above unit, but it would be worth no more than a few dollars as
far as actual usage is concered - on the other hand if buying as a collectable,
then you'd probably want it.
