    Found a couple of unused old Reels

    I have been slowly going thru boxes of my fathers effects prior to getting rid of everything. Found two new black and gold ABU reels. One is a 1500 CDL in it's original box and the other is a 5000 CDL in a wooden case with oil and a spare spool. Nice old reels that will be mementos of my father.

    I have all the original packaging and manuals but thanks for the offer. I am a luddite when it comes to posting any kind of links or photos.
