This is my baby. i picked it up a few weeks ago for £100.
It dates to around 1975 when the first millionaire reels came out.
It has never had line on it let alone been used.
The only let down is that there is no paperwork with it :'(
If anyone has the correct paperwork to cover a UK reel i will pay for it
Wow that thing is beyond mint !!! good luck with the paperwork.
Cheers:
Todd
Great find Kevin thanks for showing us, cheers Don.
That's awesome. I assume you lifted the cardboard and looked under.
I just realized I don't own any daiwa baitcasters. Aaaaand here we go again.
Hi Kev, I have a mate who found schematics, on a 6HM\6RM model, if that helps, he has sent me a copy, I could forward it on to you if require, just send me a PM, with your email address, cheers Don.

Probably not too much, some of you guys don't have at least one of lol!
Many of these, have found their way on to the tournament casting field!
Was always intrigued by these, but hard to find them in nice shape nowadays!
Very popular, because they just about all have the center mag!
Certain models of the millionaires, go up to $700 retail, just stock, no upgrades!!!

Looking for this? A little worn on the edges. It doesn't specifically mention your reel.
