and promised to make some pictures from them when done so here is the first one that i finished The reel was covered with a layer oxide that i removed with fine sanding paper first and after that i used Scotch brite and brasso to bring a bit off gloss on the reel :-) made acrylic handles for it and the reel come out very nice.
The other reel have some more problems, a broken rim and the spool does not fit on the back plate, the pin is a halve cm to short so i think the spool is from a other reel, for that i try to make a new pin for it to make a complete reel again and i try to do some repairs on the broken rim on the front plate or make a new front plate for it on the lathe and will post the results later
The reel on the left side i refurbished
First result looks promising
The finished reel
