I know from my readings on this forum, that Garry Mills is in no need of a further accolade from me.
However, I sent this reel to him, asking him if he could fettle it for me.
He telephoned yesterday, saying that he had examined the reel, and gave me his opinion on exactly what the reel needed - and did not need - doing to it.
He gave me what I thought was a very reasonable price for the work, and I asked him to carry on.
We also had a very pleasant chat about the Altex, the craftsman at Hardy's who had built it, and other matters.
Today - I received the reel back, with a new roller, a new clutch spring, and another new spring, all fitted.
I am delighted.
Thanks to this forum, and to Garry, for making this possible.
