Penn 650SS saved by Fred (again)

[sandbar]

I've been meaning to post this for several weeks but my job has gotten in the way. Why am I still working at my age? That's another sad story.
This sad story took a turn for the better when Fred rescued me.
I purchased a very clean 650SS on EBay a while back and when I received it the handle was missing.
I worked it out with the seller so my total cost was $45. I thought that was pretty good until I tried to find a replacement handle. There were very few available and used handles were almost as much as what I had paid for the reel!
Fred bailed me out with a brand new handle at no charge.
Thank You Fred. Your generosity is overwhelming and much appreciated.
When things slow down I will open this reel up and post a few pictures. It feels really good. I'll be looking for the proper rod to pair it up with.

pretty sure you already know, but if you dont... that the way ohana works in this site and still there are some guys that are even above that level of generosity.
