Mostly out of Carolina Beach. I thought I spied a vintage Pfaff on the table. You'll wear out a trailer ball first.

Damn, Im inpressed! Good eye, yes it is a vintage Pfaff, made in "western germany", lol. I do some boat enclosures , tops and upholstery as a little side gig. I previously had a vintage singer 42-5 built in the 40's but i prefer the walking foot and reverse that the Pfaff gives me. Its a fine piece of machinery ive owned now for about 15-20 years.

Hi Miles, I maybe to late, with this suggestion, if you haven't already stripped your 9/0, then when you do, take digital photos, step by step as you dismantle it, that makes it easier, to place it back together, good luck cheers Don.

So im assuming the drag washers are a five stack, carbontex i believe, and the reel seemed to be well greased on the inside although the outside is a little rough, lol.

from left to right, washers #2 and #3 should be switched.  the felt should be #2 and the two keyed washers should be double stacked on top of each other.  and #7, #9 and #11 are carbon fiber, right?  they just look funny in the photo. 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

What the BOSS said. Honestly, I think those last washers have seen better days. Washers are cheap. I recommend you swap them out with new and be confident in your gear.

Portsmouth, Va? How long are you here for Ron? We are always looking for folks to ride but not much going on here right now, couple more months and some warmer water moves in and that will be changing!

I'll be here at least until September. I'll never turn down a boat ride

Definitely hook you up then, its a lot longer boat ride from here than it is in Oahu, i fished on Magic last time I was out there. We have a nice big comfortable boat, although a little slow. Lol are you working at the Navy Yard I assume?

My buddy  does the same; a little cushion and canvas on the side. My boat was the initial guinea pig. When he got the first Pfaff we swore it would sew two sheets of plywood together.....
