Post by Frogmore »

Hi,

This nice Elite arrived today and it still has a label on the rotor.

One word has been lost - can you tell me what it was?

Think it could be "pick-up roller"

I'm sooo jealous !!! Mine hasn't got that sticker !!!

Out of interest, the original card with the reel states "Acclaimed as 'the most advanced reel in the world'." They were selling at £3 18sh 6d (that's £3.82 1/2p in today's toy money). Spool capacity is 150 yds. of 11lb B.S. nylon.

The schematic in the box describes the roller as simply "Bale arm roller", and I think that the previous suggestion of 'line' would probably be correct.

With inflation a 1963 version works out approximately £64 in today's money.

I think you may find the word(s) is "pick-up", I could be wrong but look at the advertisement in the following post.
