Olympic Dolphin Reels?

Anyone ever had one of these?  Ive read they are pretty good quality wise and all the parts are SS too.  Anyone have one apart? Easy to fix or ?  thx

Yes I had one a whyle back, mine was a lever wind reel and I liked it a lot. The only reason I sold it was becouse I'm not a fan of lever wind reels, but I did get to use it and really liked it. I believe that the reel was made in Japan. I can't tell you if they're easy to fix, I just don't remember. Good luck with it. Sal

Very similar to Penn. I've gotten some parts in the past from Tuna's Reel troubles.

I've got two that my father in law bought probably in the 70's when he had his boat and was fishing. One of them appears to have come to a bad end, sort of "blowing up".  The other one I've got in the box with the orginal schematic, wrench and bottle of oil and rod clamp...

Alan, can a person put better drags in them?  Or are they a funky size ?
