Penn 65 purchased and rebuilt/TLC.

[usncporet]

Got an old 65 a few days ago and immediately took it apart as it was in need of some TLC. Didn't have to replace any parts, although an order for some washers will be forthcoming! Got it all cleaned and lubed up, spinning freely and pretty, a few spots where the verdigris ate through the chrome on the seat, side plates and spool but otherwise looking real nice.  Oh!, forgot to mention that I had a few fustrating minutes getting the DOG SPRING and DOG back in but I FINALLY WON!!!!! (A bit tougher than the captured spring on the few Jigmasters I've done) This is fun stuff!!!!
Out of the box:

Many pieces:

All done............ till I order new drag washers, of course. BUT, It's going fishing on Monday. Avila, if you would like to join me!!!

Nice job! You're right, they are pretty. Next time you open up another, that dog and spring will be a breeze . Ain't no stopping you now . Thanks for sharing. Sal
