Here's a picture of my longest surviving studio buddy. The spec plate on her says she was made in 1975 but I got her when the University of Alberta was selling off some of their equipment in about 1982. This old wheel has served me well and never given me a moments trouble The splash pan was one of Shimpo's better designs. The bottom pulls back and off completely for cleaning out trimmings or hosing down and the top tray has enough room for my water bowl and more than enough tools.

I aquired a wheel that looks like yours with the rounded housing cover unlike the sharp bend on the newer ones. I can't find a mfg. date on it but am in the process of looking up the patent number. Do you think that this is a rk-1? Mine came partially disassembled so I hope that I got all the parts and pieces. Mine has a sliding mechanism that the motor attaches to. Just not sure what I've got.
Regards,
Ken
