Staro Reels

[sandbar]

Has anyone ever seen a schematic for these reels?
I started tinkering with one that I purchased inexpensively just to get a look inside.
I have run into some parts that are challenging. I may have broken the "no tampering" rule on page 12.
Perhaps they didn't publish schematics intentionally.
I will post some pictures of what I have apart so far.

We discussed the Staro a little here.

Here are some pictures of what I have disassembled so far.
This reel is very different from what I have seen and I intend to proceed with caution.

I haven't had either of mine completely apart so I'm no help at all. That's looking pretty involved.

Cool!
Not as many parts as I thought there would be. So, it looks like a non-ball bearing(bushing) reel?

I'm going to start with the simple things first. Trying to figure out if is possible to remove the main gear for cleaning. The spring loaded oil port on the crankshaft is not operational and needs to be cleaned. I don't know if the handle threads portion will unscrew from the shaft or the shaft may unscrew from the gear. I want to try to insert a rod through the threaded piece on the top of the shaft to see what happens. Still a bit gun shy.

Any suggestions?

One bushing on the pinion gear.
Still don't have the crankshaft apart yet. Maybe 1 bushing. Maybe 2.
