I was about to list it on ebay but it occurred to me that it could be converted to a centrepin just by adding bars to lay the line on.

The spool is well ventilated and has 8 rows of radial holes on both plates and they are exactly opposite each other. The photo below shows what I mean, see the little red circle.
If I carefully file the green enamel from the inside of each hole and buy some brass or aluminium tubing of the correct diameter, I might be able to convert the reel for margin carp fishing. What do you think ?

I tried this a long time ago on another reel and after much DIY grief it was consigned to the bin.
I don't have a lathe or Dremmel but I do have a lot of time, what would you do ? Sell it or convert it ?
