Speedia reels, want a shallower arbour ?

[Nobby]

OOPS!!!

The Post Office have changed everything yet again...they do this so ruddy often I don't bother trying to memorise their prices and sizes anymore...life's too short!

On 1.4.14 ( oh what an appropriate date) Small Parcel Second Class went up from 2.60 to £2.80


No problem, it's pennies......


However, I am now aware that the narrow-drum arbours were accepted as Large Letter First Class. I had a sack of mail to post and have only now worked my way through the pile of receipts ( I said don't get behind me in the queue )
Large Letter FirstClass is 93p......

So I have over-charged 4 people for the postage.

Refunds of £1.67 issued all round and please accept my apologies, Craycane, RichardC, SeanM and Chevin.


I need a lie down now...thank God PayPal is so easy.....

[Chevin]

That answers that then, I did wonder why I had had a refund But there is no need for an apology Nobby I was happy to pay the price and thankyou for your honesty .

It arrived this morning and is already fitted to my speedia. What can I say, an excellent addition to the reel, a very good pin has just got much better.

Many thanks to Matt for the idea and genorosity of supplying

many thanks to Nobby for being the distributor

There's really no need to apologize Nobby or the refund for that matter but many thanks anyway. Looks like I'll be able to afford half a pint of Harveys tonight after all.

[Nobby]

Hmmmmm Harveys Sussex

[SeanM]

Received and installed.

[Loop Erimder]

Gotta wait til Redditch for mine (too tight on the postage )

Mr Nobby sir, are you having a stall there?

Thanks again and thanks to Matt for the design

[Nobby]

No Loop, but I'll be about most of the day...I'm going up the day before for a spot of fishing and staying over nearby.
I don't imagine I'll be heading South again before Midday at the earliest.

I've got other arbours to deliver and a few reels too so I will be there.

[Loop Erimder]

Super, I'll be there in the morning anyway

[Loop Erimder]

Have they all definately gone now ?

[Vole]

Oh, happy day!
Here's my wide-drum, and the frilly thing next to it shows what line did to two layers of modellers cork sheet.


I don't know which "mark" this reel is, but it needed all the sacrificeable lip sanding off for a snug fit. No problem.What a clever idea that lip is; if drum widths vary as much as spindle diameters (no two spools seem interchangeable) it will prove invaluable.
It looks wonderful; I won't be able to fish until Thursday (massive piano exams day at ours on Wednesday ) but then I'll try to contact something that makes me wind in under tension - if it happens, I'll report back!

Massive thanks to both Nobby and Matt, you've rehabilitated a lovely old reel!

Here's the snap-fastening, peeping coyly through one of the holes:


All I need now is a carp. Or something...
