I just stumbled upon your post. Outstanding collection. I grew up with an old REO Reel mower that my father loved because of the amazing job it did grooming the lawn. "A scissors cut is alway better than a chop cut.", he would say as he admired the lawn.
If I could find a decent powered reel mower that was reasonbly priced, I'd buy one. I have a Scotts push reel, and that's the closest I have come so far.
