We've all seen cracked rings because of the bakelite swelling.  But, has anyone ever seen a reel that warped or just blew up because of a cracked ring?  Even when cracked it is still providing support.

These rings look cracked from over tightening or getting banged around or dropped. I have a 9/0 as a donor waiting for cortez side plates so I have some fresh rings if I need them. Not period correct but they'd work
Do what you can with that you have where you are

I got a "gift" in today's mail ! I pulled off the bent reel stand, installed this one that Chris so kindly shared, and shined things up .a bit !
Looks a LOT better , now that things are "straight with the world" !   Waiting a chance to "pay it forward"...thanks again, Chris !

Yup ! As Ringo say's..."I get by with a little help from my friends !"...Thanks, again !

It's a cold windy, rainy day here in northern Illinois....again ! So, I have been working on my "' $.99 special"  New guides.......probably would have been a neater job if I would have used duct tape (my wrapping skills suck !)......new varnish, the reel all cleaned up and lubed....some "salvaged" old-school nylon braid spooled up. It looks a "little" better than when I got it !  I "strung" it as a "lefty" !

 Haven't had much time for searching lately, but clicked on fleabay last week and found a sleeper listing for one of my favorite reels. I was the only bidder which don't bother me a bit !! Nice of you guys (and gals) to let me win one once in a while  :D ;)

Benni, that's a 1940's model and looks to be 100% era correct. Bet it's caught lots of fish stories !!
