Title: $30 Cardinal 3
Post by: jgp12000 on November 16, 2023, 10:26:10 PM
Sometimes I find a gem,this one owner 76' Cardinal 3 was on social media,$30 after shipping.The rotor has one flea bite. It had a broken spool and 1 broken bail spring,it needed cleaning & lube job.I had an extra plastic spool.He even had the manual.I am proud of this one! I can't imagine it working any better when it was new.

Sometimes you find a deal. I just picked up a Cardinal 3 strapped to a Fenwick for $35.
