Title: Rowing Machine
Post by: bfische2 on March 17, 2009, 10:31:23 AM

I have been searching everywhere trying to find out the name of the antique rowing machine featured in the beginning of the movie the "the skulls" does anyone know? I have been searching for an antique rowing machine for quite a while now. Does anyone have any information on them at all? Thank you.

Thanks. Does anyone know of a brand? The one from the movie has several gears.

If you are able to pull up www.rowinghistory.n et and then go to the equipment section and then to rowing machines...it lists several makers/types. 

Even Spalding was in business back then.
