I just joined this great informational forum.

I joined this forum yesterday and I am looking forward to learning about what kind of an accumulator I am and where to contribute any worthwhile information I have. Thank you for the opportunity to be here.

Welcome, Joe! Tell us about your interests.

[Joe Watts]

Thank you Midway Tommy D.

In terms of what I have been collecting/accumulating in round reels I have older Pflueger, Ocean City, and Penn, mostly because they were easy to obtain a joy to own. I also have various brands of old and some early spinning reels.
I like to remove old grease from these reels and get them running smooth again which has made my hair turn grey.

Welcome to Reel Talk! Looking forward to seeing some of your restorations. Be sure to read the sticky post on photo posting.

[Joe Watts]

Thank you kyreels.

Yes, I have to figure out photo posting.

Trying to post a photo.

Meisselbach No.50

Well, this isn't going well.

Maybe later.



This seems to be as far as I can get.

Another effort.



Obviously, I'm not following the script.




To my surprise I stumbled my way into getting a image in the post.

Good job, Joe, and a fine reel! Meisselbach reels are a popular collectible with quite a few people in ORCA. Both Phil White and Roger Schulz have written excellent books about this prolific reel-making company.
