Thanks for posting! I have one of those reel setting on my book shelf. It's the lone survivor of the three that i gave my three sons when they were young. They were nice reels for the price. BPS sold a ton of them.
Regards,
Charlie

Thank you Chester.  I'm wondering what the date is on that.  Mid-1970's maybe.  Anybody know?

Thank you Mo.  I thought the disengaging levelwind appeared in the early 1970's.  I wonder if Heddon was the first?
