Looking for interesting reels pics that ORCA can post on FB

Post by Paul M »

ORCA tries to post promotional messages on the ORCA Facebook page about twice per week. To attract new members we need to reach outside of our own community. To keep the promos interesting we need your help to come up with a wider variety of content. The reels don’t have to be rare classics. Any reels that interest you would be great. Please help by sending me a few interesting reel pics and a comment about them.

Thanks
Paul Manuel

Paul, I haven’t been acquiring much recently so I haven’t had much to send you. I did pick up a few items recently which might make good posts, but I know I have at least one interesting post for you. As soon as I get some time to take pics, I’ll pass them on to you!

I'm a little confused about the kind of photos you want. Just common reels? We all have photos of reels in our collection. Wonderful photos. I've photographed every early boxed reel that I've either collected or bought and sold, but they're not really common. I have hundreds of them.

The idea is to use pics of reels that anyone might collect, not just the exotic. There are millions of closet collectors out there and what appeals to them does not have to be the toughest, the shiniest, the rarest. Who knows what reel picture might inspire our next member to join? It is the Charlie Brown experiment. Put it out there and see what happens.

Paul,
Maybe some "Before and After" clean-up / restoration pictures? One's that might motivate, by displaying what's possible in the collecting world? For instance......

I like that before and after idea. Should motivate some people, like the hotrod before and after pics.

Beautiful job Randy. Those Pfluegers really clean up nicely. I have a couple Templars and an Oceanic in the queue myself. I noticed that despite how badly it’s corroded and greased up, that clicker looks like new. Must have seen light use.
