If that'ed happened to me as a kid, I'd a never forgotten it. Lookin at that mod.,  indeed, it woulda started me on the road to "conventional" wisdom alot earlier...

Thanks guys and gals! I'm hoping he will enjoy this reel for a long time.

I for one can personally attest to how great that reel will be for that young man! I started here looking for help on a couple of reels myself.
Sal rebuilt a couple of matching 155's that were my late father-in-laws. My daughters (14 & 12)now have them, and are very proud of them!
I just hope they will grow to really appreciate how special they are, right now they are "really cool" reels, and thats good enough for me. Im actually kind of jealous, it took me many years to start getting top notch equipment.
Great job as always Sal!.....
Nice knob by the way ..., but thats to be expected with anything you, Ted, Lou, and others take on around here!!!

La tua generosità è tutto sull'essere Italiani. Grazie per esserti preso cura del bambino.  Domenico

I am not Italian Dominick, but Sal has taught me a lot.
Not just with reels. He is a Good Man.
It is all about paying it forward.
If more learned by his example, the world would be a better place.

Good story. Nice save, Salvatore.  I like the walnut knob.
