First reel done and it's significantly better than it was...it's almost silent now. It needed a clutch drag washer, a handle knob shim and two main gear shims and it feels as good as new again. Not bad for a 60 year old reel.

It would be on its way home if our Postmistress hadn't decided she wanted a day off......


I timed this little enterprise poorly, just as I left my glasses at the optician for new lenses, so I got some reading glasses from Boots and I now I can see.......absolutely nothing except what's one foot in front of me.


But that's great for the reels repairs.
