headscan Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 A friend of mine is trying to sell some fly fishing stuff that belonged to his father in-law and I'm trying to help him figure out the value of the items. One of the things he has is a Roots Dubbing Machine made in Kamloops. I had never heard of it before and it seems the company is no longer in business. Google searches haven't helped with much. If anyone has any sort of info, particularly on how much they sell for I'd appreciate it. PM's are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you were to buy one new, I think they were retailing around 70 bucks. If you want a comparable, look for Jan Siman Turbo Dubbing Spinner. You can pick these up for around 60 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Their value has dropped significantly since people started cloning their own. http://vimeo.com/3207607 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh8cfZwZJvo...feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I had one given to me, first thing to do is replace the battery operated motor, it's crap. Replacing the hook ends isn't a bad idea either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks for the info. I'm not interested in it myself, just trying to help a friend sell some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnk Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks for the info. I'm not interested in it myself, just trying to help a friend sell some stuff. When Len Roots was doing the tour of all the shows introducing the Dubbing Machine he was offering it at an introductory price of $160 which included wire, cellire and a large assortment of llama dubbing. Now it would have a value of less than half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
