um, no, i was going to pass it over to you or jim!

That's what I though

. another reason to get the ultrasonic cleaner out of your garage...in fact, I may need to borrow it if you don't mind.

X2.
It's always nice to bring things back to life, but that spool is too far gone.
Put it to rest and don't waste time or money on it.

we could have saved this one!

LOL

Alan, even u could not work a miracle with this one... Maybe my auto body repair guy could! unless you have bondo, epoxy, and all day with various sandpapers......Stand back!

Ok you have forced me to upload the pictures..... :

keep in mind....this is AFTER 30 minutes of lathing with files and brushes! DOH!

how about bondo?

i'm half kidding, half not...... $:-\$

Well I just got back from work and saw this post,I have a full frame and spool for a 900 if the issue comes back in the future been used on a charter boat but still in good shape.If anyone needs just shoot me an email and I will look for it,been going to fix it up with new guts for a while now just haven't gotten around to it.

Lee could probably use that spool, he likes to experiment .
btw, where did he get to? $:-\$

wow....funny you should mention it....

my spool and frame are the two worst parts on this reel.... everything else is excellent.... the frame I accidentally left in vinegar for an hour too long on one end (trying to deal with the corrosion) would love to ask you for your parts.... as long as the shaft is straight....

As for the bondo Idea..... it crossed my mind....

but i figured.... I KNOW I will mess this up.....so let's not even start

Gives a whole new meaning to 'nice patina'

WOW!! Life lessons.....

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Well said.. I try and remember that song when I see things like that...

yeah .... well, I must say, for the small price tags these reels have.... (obviously) (ie on ebay)....they are pretty amazing reels.... especially after this upgrade.... not sure i would really need anything bigger....unless i wanted to impress people-- with my pretty gold reels. You could easy land BIG fish on this 900 now.
