the long beach series is a low speed reel with small gears.  i'll bet these larger 68's were originally intended to hold 30# dacron, maybe 300 yards at most.  i think this one holds over 450 yards of 30# mono.  the drag stack has been converted from a 1+3 to a 1+5, with a carbon fiber drag washer (not a fiber washer) underneath the main gear and five of the #6-60 drag washers inside the main gear (instead of three of the #6-113's).  finally, the addition of a stainless steel gear sleeve gives this reel the ability to deliver a reliable 10-12 pounds of drag, making it a true 30# reel.  it's a real old timer, and i would not lean on it any harder than this.  for those of you that like these older reels, here's one with much more under the hood than any other.  it's $70 with domestic shipping included.  thanks!  alan

I believe the reel is still available. I saw it the other day when we were looking for another reel.

Wow, I never noticed this reel. Great deal, half of the cost went for the upgrades.
Don't let it slip away Mike. I'm  guessing you already know you could make that reel a narrow, standard or wide, by using parts from the 66-67 and 68.
I hope he still has it for you, good luck!

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