And the cousin, Chronarch 51Mg.

I see you collect Curado's too.

Up until the K, they were the test of endurance.

Nice, very nice! I also have my collection of 201 size Curados. Sold the 201 BSF and Curado 201E and 101B years ago, now I wish I still had them in the stable. I forgot to add in my Curado 101D to the family pic.

For the pittance you get for them second hand it's better to keep them and admire or hand down to the next generation to keep things going.

While a large majority of my gear is second hand I still admire them, but I'm doubtful of adding anymore.

Very cool! All my Curados I've bought new back in theday. I've seen the 101B used now and then and been tempted to buy one again. But the frame is the same as the 100DSV and Chronarch 51Mg and figured it would be redundant.

I also have a Calcutta 51B

I have two CH50Mgs, two CH50Es, a CU100B. I've been thinking of getting the new CU70K with the highest gear ratio. I tend to use larger reels, CU200s mainly. I've thought about flea-baying the CH50MGs but not sure if I will. I really enjoyed the pictures. Someday I'll get my collection organized and post a pic.
