Seller also said "Old School Quality you can feel"  ;D
No experience with this particular reel, but as others have said in other threads on the forum (and I will attest to) with two early Shimano Baitrunners, service and repair is a "little more involved" than with a garden variety spinner due to the extra functionality/mechanics of the "baitrunner/liveliner" feature.  Not an "avoid at all costs" type of situation but definitely a little more involved and finicky in my experiences. - john

Thanks John
much appreciated , I have cleaned normal spins bait having the bait runner type feature makes me a tad hesitant
I was hopping for a cheaper start bid price 😁
