Hello Drew, 
Great timing!  (For me at least)  You may have noticed from recent posts that I have just commenced a restoration of an Electric Supercut.  
This weekend is one that I do not have to go to work so was planning to spend time in the top shed pulling the bearings off the reel  Is this (or should I say, are these) what you refer to as being LH thread? I have hesitated to commence pulling at them as I don't want to cause unnecessary damage.
Thanks - great work by the way, I can appreciate the time and effort that you have put in thus far.
John
