I've been reading your tutorials on some other sites but there is definitely more information tied up in this site than on any other regarding reel repair and maintenance.  Your posts have given me the confidence to go into my own reels for a complete disassembly and cleaning/rebuild without missing a beat and even some upgrades.  I will have some questions for you in the near future so keep an eye out   It actually makes reel cleaning quite enjoyable. 
Thanks
