Very nice roadking- that's a very clean paper, and there are a lot of Medalist fans on the forum!

Nice to see this section become active again. Does anyone by chance have the papers for the Orvis version?

Ron and I were thinking we should feature some vintage reel ads here on the Reel Papers thread.
If you've got 'em, let's see 'em! Here's a classic to get us started... can anyone identify the other two "light, single action reels" mentioned in the ad 
April 1969 Field & Stream

Oh my gosh, I love that Martin ad, not to mention the recently posted Pflueger sheet. That really adds to the pleasure of having a Pflueger of that vintage.
Middlemac, two other reels, and what kind? Are there other kinds of reels than Pflueger and Martin? Never heard of them. And I know a Pflueger didn't cost
more than sixty dollars, or even pfipfty bucks, so that can't be it. I think a Pflueger was less than pfipfteen. I know I bought a 1495 1/2 in 1976 for
pfipfteen or so, but it was marked down from like twentypfive.

I'm still confused. My Orvis Green Mountain II has the floating disc drag but I thought it was the 67SS, or 67N or 67A or, or...? Needless to say I'm
still look for an extra spool...I just don't know which one. Great idea on the ads.

A recent discussion of Orvis multipliers prompted a request from Cofisher to post the papers for the Gear Fly reel, which came in an Orvis branded version (he
has a fine one) as well as Cortland, Leeda, Gladding South Bend, and probably some others. I have a Gladding SB as new, and a Leeda Gearfly, so beat that I
had nothing to lose painting it. So hear are the SB Gear Fly papers; the mechanics and such should be identical for other branded reels of this type. Sorry,
I can't do much editing photos for clarity over my dial-up tonight; if these are really shabby I may try again to improve the image.

DoctorFly, thanks. I don't have, never will have, and don't want a reel of that type, which makes looking at them here all the more worthwhile. Just
the graphics of the time, let alone the reel, are a pleasure to look over. I hope having the reel and papers provides you even more pleasure. Thanks again.

Awesome posts in the "first quarter" of the new year! Certainly a better showing than the stock market.
Kev- I copied and printed the M70 papers and put them with my 70. Many thanks.

Don't recall seeing the papers for the mighty Martin MG-9, so here they are.
There's recently been some interest in this big reel on the board, and (or should I say, therefore?) suddenly they've been popping up on the eebster with regularity... The double-sided trifold paper is big, just like the reel (each page measures 4-3/8" x 5-1/2"). There are also basic specs for a few other MGs on page 5. Page six photo sucks but it's just the usual warranty page.
