My Thompson A which I bought in 1980 from Kaufmans Streamborn with their steelhead fly tying kit has been in retirement since 1984 when I bought the Renzetti Traveller. Its been in a garage cabinet since 1984.
Well I must have super glued the Renzetti jaws together last weekend, could get it to separate. Put it in hot water and cleaned it out but it still will not seperate much.
Got the Thompson A out, sprayed some silicone on it and cleaned it a little, not much.
Just tied 5 flies with her, shes back in action for a while until I get a replacement jaws for the Traveller.
I think the Thompson cost $15 or $ 20 in 1980 and she is still ticking after thousand + flies, who knows how many.
PM Out
