My Granda had one of these for 40 years and he paid about £60 for it way back in 1972. :confused:

Classic. Even the full price doesn't seem too bad with inflation over the 45+ years or so! Hot. Used to dream about such things, when devouring the ABU Tight Lines catalogues when a school kid. The Intrepid 'Black Prince' had to do! Wonder where the 7000 is made nowadays, let me guess ....
