Thanks. Kinda hoped the tube was original but wasn't going to gripe if not. Yeah, I usually try to dicker a bit on price but I was so shocked I just handed him the twenty. There was another guy looking at it over my shoulder as I paid!
What does the term "double built" mean? I've seen it but have no idea.
I have a SB#76 9' which I think is for 7wt line. It needs a guide replaced and a little minor work, and the cork is a little rough, but it's straight and all original including sock and tube (cardboard). It was a $2.50 garage sale purchase, so I guess I've done OK on these two!
