Title: Changing Parts to Rolling Stock
Post by: mo65 on December 19, 2021, 02:22:14 PM
   I thought I might as well store some parts as "rolling stock"...HA! The top row from left to right is a late 30's/early 40's era LB60, a LB66 with a 5-stack and double dogs, and a 50's era LB60. I wonder how long it will be before one ends up on blocks in the back yard? ;D  I made a ss spring for the new AR dog on the LB66 from some steel strips PacRat gave me.
  Down front is a Surfy 100 for my brother, and a Beachmaster 160 for Rob. The 112H handle on the Surfy also came from PacRat...traded for a South Bend 925 spool shaft. The spool and handle on Rob's Beachmaster came from El Pescador's Surfmaster project. 8)

G Tanks,  Good job,  I,m not sure if we copied Sal, or I copied you.   The first one is scary,  like a girl.  :o  Then its like a wife,   after you have done a few. ;)  What i mean is every time you do it you get better. ::)   Maybe just guy logic?
   The double dog is a great way to make a good reel better.    Thanks for everyones understanding.     Happy Holidays,   Good fishing next year!!
