I am posting this message for vintage reel collector and past reel repairman Bill Bird of Grandy, NC. Bill has a very large inventory of new reel parts and parts reels which he would like to sell as a single lot. New reel parts are for freshwater and saltwater reels from 1960's to 2008 from makers including but not limited to Pflueger, South Bend, Shakespeare, Penn, Shimano, and Ocean City. This is not a file cabinet of parts, but enough to fill a small trailer.

Here is Bill's contact information:   billboard844@gmail. com.  Phone  252-564-4131    Bill is working on obtaining photos of his stuff.

This message is on the O. R. C. A.  Reel Talk page as well.

( HOWEVER THEY WON'T ALLOW THE OWNERS E-MAIL AND PHONE NUMBER TO BE POSTED )

 I know Bill would appreciate hearing from serious potential buyers.
