A strip and clean showed that the reel was basically sound but heavily soiled. The ratchet pawl badly worn, oh and those holes in the back plate!
A couple of days ago I was mixing some epoxy for a nother project so I thought I'd give it a try on the reel rim.
Much polishing, filing, cleaning and colour matching later I have a reel which should appear on a rod in the near future.
