OK Justin here is one more, just in case you have a price for the winner ;D:
The more the screw ups the more parts in your arsenal.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Hehe, heard another version when I was younger (along the same lines)...
Beans, beans are good for your heart
The more you eat the more you f*rt
The more you f*rt, the better you feel
So, have beans, beans for every meal...
Something like 40 BCs, mostly ABU. Still counting upwards...

It is written: The part the falls on the floor and is lost forever is the very one you have no more of, and either need to rob one from a personal reel, or spend 9.99 on freight for a 1.99 part...  >:(       ;D

So true Snagged.
I serviced the most beautiful-looking early Jigmaster last night.
It looked like it'd never been used, so I figured 'this won't take long'.
Unfortunately, it was full of crud inside, had a thoroughly bent eccentric, crushed dog spring and damaged gears.
It all came together in the end, though...  ;)
Cheers mate, Justin

True Sal. I did a Stellar 4000FE the other night and couldn't help but wonder if they design these things to drive guys like us to distraction.
But at least I wasn't bored!  ;D

They're beautiful little reels though. ;)
