Nice! Never seen a 2 speed 6000 series before.
I remember the lever drag 6500 and the lever 7000 series. Very rarely see them now.
Love the frame on the Morrum at bottom.
Very interesting.Thanks.

I beleive that they only made the 6500 2-spd in 1970-71 era.  I was told that it was the reel that was the insparation for the Tiberon 2-spd.  Love the 7700, it has been sturgeon fishing on the SF bay in Ca. a couple times.

Great reels - thanks for sharing.
A mate swears by his C3 two-speed.
I gave it the full Tani/Carbontex treatment last season and he reckons it really sings now.
Haven't come across an SX before, but it looks like a quality bit of gear.
Cheers, Justin.
