Hi Deejay,

Excellent information....

I think you are quite correct about the reel having been replaced. The bottom blade on the sole plate was in a shocking state and there were a a couple of big dings on the the reel, so I kinda think it has been used in the wrong environment. Still, in the process of refurbishing it for my son, with the help of you guys, but on the whole its a pretty good machine and I'll get there!

Dejan87,

"I managed to scratch the chain guard........." sadly, I know that feeling all too well!

But you,still scored a great machine.
