Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

 Recently stumbled onto a Long Beach 68 that nobody else wanted...till I came along ;D  Also bought a 67 for pocket change as a donor reel, but after cleaning off the old grime, I decided it was too nice to use for a parts reel.

WOW!!!! very nice. I have several 68's, an undersung piece if there is one, but mine are of the retired-from-headboat variety, not those queens you got there brother!

Sure wouldn't mind stumbling with you some day, Ted.  I'm blind from that glare! 8)
Nice finds,

   Ted's donors look they came off some collector's top shelf. The donors I buy look like a barnacle farm. Nice LBs Ted!

Well, I fish anodized lever drags and a bunch of graphite this-that-and-the-other for other things. BUT I wish I could go back in time, and walk into Abercrombie and Fitch before they started selling pants I can't get one thigh in, and see polished chrome for sale, and Harnell's, Magnaflex, St.Croix and Fenwicks, to smell fresh varnish and metal polish...so much more than the aluminum spools and plastic frames now....

I almost spit out a glass of wine.  Very funny Mo.  Dominick

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

I remember going into Abercrombie and Fitch when I was a kid and marveling at all that high end gear, alot of fly gear,creels and the like. I could never picture myself in one of those tweed coats with the patches on the elbows. Reality would set in and back to scrounging for blue chip stamps around the house for a new reel.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Ted, you do realize that your old parts reels look better than my NOS reels................ That is beginning to depress me..........................................<:O(

Picked up this puppy today,
By my accounts, it's a first generation 9/0, and with the handle, should be a first year  36 ?????

It's my second first generation now, it looks like a pup next to the 12/0,
It's not the best of conditions, has some issues, but a good clean up should have it looking in OK condition.
My photo's aren't the best, but someone may have taken to it with the intent of buffing it up, or maybe this has some decent use.
