Ok Mike, good pictures, have to say I was expecting to see brass main gear in there not a zinc one but still a rare reel, I have seen the 40A and 60A reels with the champagne rotor but not the 70A, one trouble is they all come from the same German collector, be great to see more of these reels maybe mint in box and from some other collectors, I have a great friend in Japan, will ask him what he thinks about them, if he doesn't know nobody will.
Have to say its better in the flesh to see reels like this and compare it to other champagne reels like the Cardinal 3 and 4 but what you have there does look nice, a great find for sure
Talking with Marco the other day I can reveal he is talking of doing another book later this year, it has many updates on his last book so may have some more of these reels in it. Im hoping it will be an all new style of book as he has a new printer.
Going to be another limited run of books so keep your eyes peeled for more on this books availability.
