I picked up a few rods & reels for AU $10, the above Penn reel was turning very smooth, but the infinite Anti reverse bearing was not working, so I managed to put the bearing Bush & pinion out, it was full of fresh clean grease, so I kept spraying it with carb cleaner, then placing it together revolving it and repeating the process several times, then with light air presure I kept drying it out, luckily the rollers stayed in place, then after the 4th attempt, it started to function as new, took me a couple attempts to place it all back together, its now running like a dream, Scotts bait n tackle told me this model was only released in the UK, I was after schematics, but by the time they came back to me, I had it working like new, the spool was full of line, about 25 Lbs breaking strain. keep well cheers Don.
