I know many of the vintage tackle collectors in here also go on Classic Fly Rod Forum. They will therefore be aware of the “Restoration” debate about restoring vintage reels, and its namesake, John Mack . .

I was talking to John today; (for a Scotsman he speaks remarkably good English) and he is happy to discuss anyone’s restoration queries and requirements. He’s a great guy to chat to, very knowledgeable and well connected, and happy to share what he knows.

John has done a few first class restorations for me and, at the other end of the scale, for some world-class collectors.

He can be contacted at johnsemail (AT) wp.pl (@ and no spaces)
(or PM me).
