Not too much wrong with that reel from what I can see. There's plenty of life left in it and as such if one of the blades has a bend in it it will be easily fixed as far as I'm concerned.

So someone has been there previously butchering it without proper skills it seems. A good operator will have that repaired in no time though.

I must admit though $250 would've been a far nicer price. Still plenty out there to be had and honestly they aren't rare at all as some may want you to believe.

Anyway seems as though you've got a good full strip down job in front of you.

Cheers,

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
