New in box, old senator 9/0 arrived. Age of this reel anyone?

Trond,

If there is a number on the catalog it should be easy to date the reel and for $65 you are a thief. How can you sleep?

Ray, I'm sure that catalog is #89B, with a 1989 date stamped on it. I don't believe you can really go by that since they all look the same $:-\$ .

Great!
I am trying to get the LB-60 version cut first, but if that can be done at a reasonable cost, this is he next one to be made.

Trond, have you calculated the cost of shipping to the U.S. and if so what is the approximate amount? Dominick

Shipping cost from Norway to US is ridiculous expensive. About $43.- for up to 1Kg.
The frames will be made somewhere outside of Norway, so i will have most of them shipped directly to a distributor somewhere in the US. A few of them will be shipped to me.
Shipping them one by one from Norway to US will make them way to expensive to sell.
