I found you on the ORCA forum. I am a life member of ORCA and the NFLCC. I have a long interest (I'm 76) in vintage tackle. I use almost nothing but vintage tackle and fish with it during the entire Summer in Michigan. I am always excited to find others with like interests and experiences as well as good advice on tools, lubricants and repair tips.

Welcome Sonnett from South Australia Kim

Yes, I am Bill Sonnett from Jackson Michigan. Going to be 76 next month and been fishing with and repairing older reels since I was a kid. Specializing the last few years on the many permutations of Coxe 25's which I also use in 80% of my fishing each evening on the small natural lake we live on in the Summer months.

Welcome Bill. The 25's are beautiful reels. I'm not crazy about the clutch but they're uniquely made and look great.
