pics of top sheet and base plz.

From what you are saying the bindings may use an old drill hole pattern. EST (channel) & 2 x 4 are the current ones.
If your board, bindings and boots are ok, then they will probably be better than rental gear. Do you really want to put your feet where multiple random sweaty feral feet have been?
hire board/bindings esp demo boards / premium if you want to try a few modern boards to get a feel for what's current.
The standard rental boards at a given shop will be clapped out, most likely.

All about binding hole patterns...

Snowboard Binding Hole Patterns - The-House

Updated 2/13/23 It’s important to be able to distinguish snowboard hole patterns apart. There are 3 main mounting patterns and 1 minor one that will each one will mount to […]

I think forky mc fork fork has touched on something very important. If one part of your kit has expired, the rest may have as well. Or there (just like bikes) might be some compatibility issues. Suddenly you have triggered a spending event like no other! Personally I think the snow life is the best life one can have, so I don't suffer buyers remorse or guilt over spending up. But if it's for an occasional week/weekend a year then often some quality rental gear will hit the mark. If I was only buying one thing it would be goggles, gloves, and quality boots, then pants and jacket. This stuff all seems too intimate for renting.

If you haven't been for a long time and this is a trial run for the whole family kind of trip...rent. Then if it is a raging success buy.

The weekend has been a cracker for me so far.

Gave it a tidy up. There’s a little surface rust on the rails and ratchets but looks pretty sound. Probably a museum piece though.

Condition looks ok. bindings are definitely the old 3D hole pattern. if you are going to ride it, base will benefit from a good wax, or take it to a shop to get a structure in the base for better glide, and a wax to stop the base drying out & shrinking & the edges done.

I couldn't tell you if it's collectible, there are groups on FB for that. nice piece of snowboarding history, I guess.
Hang it on the wall, or ride it till the board or bindings break, then it will be time for modern deck and bindings.
Probably one of the later UNINC crew boards, before Burton let those 3 go around the time of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, and they went on to found YES snowboards. YES has a premium line of boards under the UNINC moniker. - (souped up versions of certain of their regular boards.)

With Burton pretty much being the specialised of the snowboarding world, do you think the design team were smugly laughing among themselves over a bowl of coke when they chose the anti-capitalist artworks?

One of my clients rocked up this season with some new to him second hand bindings that were 3 hole. He hadn't even considered that the disc might be a different format, "what do you mean hole pattern?". Oh to no live in a world of endless standard changes! After a bit of fucking around short of drilling the disc there was no way these were going to fit. Fortunately for about $50 he soon had himself 4 hole discs that fit the old baseplates. So if you wanted to keep the bindings running it would be possible.

As long as the ratchets hold in place, the straps aren't breaking (I had one tear apart last year on my last day in Hotham), and the frame isn't cracked it all looks like you should be fine for a week or so on snow.

If it bothers you, the rs should be easy enough to run off with a harsh scourer, fine sand paper, or worst case a file. Or get the rails sharpened when you get the base waxed.

Get amongst it! And have fun.

So does that make Sean White the Shaun Palmer of snowboarding? Or is Sean an even bigger douche bag?

I've been up to Mt Macedon and Daylesford looking for them but didn't get many. There was quite a few others collecting them, I'm not sure if where we were looking was too picked over or the weather hadn't been quite right.

It only took me a month to go out to Creswick... Saffron Milk caps everywhere around the La Gerche walk and fire roads. Some are old and had it, but there are plenty of fresh ones popping up still.
