Well done!

My Daddy always said he never learned much when he did things right but he learned a lot when he made a mistake.  :D  I've always remembered that comment when I screw up, problem is the mind is getting too old to remember, sometimes, what I learnt.  ;D

Good advice.  And thanks guys for making this a place where you can talk about goof ups without feeling bad about it.

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

It was pretty much dirt cheap, so if it turned out to be a heap of parts so be it.   I figured the worst thing to happen was I'd have wasted a little time (and there are some that would say it was a waste of time regardless of the outcome).  I certainly don't see it that way  ;)

It's never a waste of time getting a spinning reel working fine and back into circulation, and even the experience of working on it counts for something!  ;)
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
