Well, one of my former shop co-workers came through and just shipped me a 4" hardy perfect he found at a great price for me. A lot less than a Bougle. The finish is shot, including some "WOOPSIES!" from a screwdriver around the center screw but it is in absolutely perfect mechanical shape and will probably be fished by giant mutant cockroaches after the nuclear holocaust :eyecrazy:
The only problem is that it is bone dry! What's the preferred lube for one of these? Light Machine oil I assume? Surely not grease!
On a side note, I have no idea of the vintage of this thing but it does have the giant brass foot, which just fits my 8/9 Derek Brown Fave, which is going to be my main rod this winter. Still need to try it on the Scott ARC 10 wt. Not even going to bother trying it on the Sages :chuckle:
