Aloha.  E komo mai.

What makes you refer to yourself as a Newell Nut?  Newell nuts look pretty much the same as other nuts I've seen.  The translation to this question and comment is:  "Please tell us about yourself and your collection".

My collection started 20 years ago and quite simple with a 540 3.2 which is a great bottom fishing reel. I added another. Got married a few years after that and my wife loves fishing too. I decided to get her something a little lighter and this is when I discovered that Newells are not being made anymore so I started searching. I have added 20 to my collection from 220 to 540 with half of them being P models.
I now like buying the used ones and cleaning them up and upgrading the bearings and drags. I really like the simplicity of design and strength and corrosion resistance and of course the light weight. Almost all of them now have Tiburon frames and a few have the 533NK kits.

So I went from Newell user to a Newell Nut in a short time. Besides that some else on the forum has my same first name so I quickly chose Newell Nut to register. Seemed to fit okay.

i've got some newell parts left, but it's not much.  someone needs to break open that large truck container that has all the old parts from the newell factory.

Where is that Newell container?  Maybe we gotta get down there and tow it back.  Between you and me Alan, we should be able to tow at least 14 tons of parts.
