Significant ABU Friends

Raymond Shain Stansbury /aka Shain

I have been frequently out-bid by Shain under the guise whutchinson4 on Ebay.

He has a fine collection of ABU and also Arjon for those interested in this other famous Swedish marque.

His willingness to share knowledge and images here, like others is to be commended.

I have asked Shain to organize his  facts and images to share his passion here.

The beautiful images speak for themselves and many of us would love to have such reels in as Mint a condition as these.
