Re: Show off your OG Zillion
That's a beauty for sure. Love me some purple, especially those knobs. I remember when you could get those and other colors like the metallic red wine, gold, etc. easily from overseas for normal prices.

Re: Show off your OG Zillion
Thanks, and True! I was told 20, but that never mattered to me I love the crackle paint and the matching pop X.Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 1:05 amI don't think exact numbers are available, but it was less than 100.

Re: Show off your OG Zillion
Thanks! I love purple reel parts also. Yeah it’s crazy how expensive parts for reels can get. I would never pay those asking prices for these parts. If a good deal comes along I’ll grab them but if I miss them and the market on them blows up I usually pass. I love the handle on your SV 103. Not many people have that handle. I wonder how the TD-Z magnets effect performance compared to the stock magnets? I never tried swapping zillion to TD-Z or the other way around. Pretty cool either way.MountainMan 83 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:10 amThat's a beauty for sure. Love me some purple, especially those knobs.

Re: Show off your OG Zillion
Ya know, I didnt even think about that. I saw that the part numbers were the same but I guess that's just for the magnet holder and set plate. Didnt think about the actual magnets being different. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, so now I'm really interested in if there are any differences with my stock SV103.domthewon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 8:57 amThanks! I love purple reel parts also.
