Ryder Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I found this at Vinnies yesterday, Grice and Young Avon Royal MK3. A little corrosion around the reel seat and some paint loss. It would barely turn when I found it, I put that down to old grease. With a degrease, clean and lube it now spins for 2 min 30. Not bad for $40. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macman Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah , well done, must be tempted to strip it and paint it? They are pretty easy to do, I've done a couple even hand sprayed goes well. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Cheers guys, there is another one in the same shop, but in far worse condition. Both were on Slazenger rods. This was on a bastardised 11A, the bottom section is genuine Slazenger, the top is solid glass. The reel seat is interesting, winds both up and down. The other reel is much more corroded, I don't know if it even spins, but it's on a better blank for Blackfish. 10 ft one piece with a great slow action. Needs a full rebuild, the lower grip is PVC. Still only asking $40. I can't do it just now. I'm having the 15ft Sportex rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
