80 euros – that’s how much Walter Lehnertz wanted to pay for a training device from the 1950s at “Bares für Rares”. When the seller didn’t agree immediately, “Waldi” became energetic.
It once belonged to his father, who purchased the device in 1957. Sven Deutschmanek explains how it works. A red and a blue scale measure the tensile and compressive force, according to the expert. An enclosed booklet contains instructions with exercises. Vipodi is the name of the device, which was also produced in Germany.
“Cash for Rares”: Horst Lichter thinks it’s great
As a special highlight, the expert presented a table in which you could record your training successes and have them certified by a witness. Horst Lichter is thrilled: “I think it’s great. That’s beautiful, that’s funny, that’s a curiosity. Great!” Filimon would like 50 euros for it. That should work: Deutschmanek estimates the value at 50 to 100 euros.
“We looked surprised at first, but we immediately knew what it was,” says Walter “Waldi” Lehnertz in greeting when the salesman enters the dealer’s room. The auction then goes over very quickly: “Waldi” offers his obligatory 80 euros. The other traders get out straight away. But Peter Filimon tries to play poker and would like 100 euros.

“Oh no, let’s stick with 80,” complains “Waldi”. When he finds out about the expertise, he briefly loses his temper: “I’m right about being 80,” he says. “Don’t come around here now, let’s do the 80.” This breaks the seller’s resistance and the deal is concluded. Filimon would like to use the proceeds to eat with his father.
