No, not family Dom, my town is about an hour SE of Rome.

Not comparing anything LI Guy, I know how bad you guys have it up there, just trying to cheer you up.
Send some of those reels my way, if you have some older Senators,I'll even install a double dog for you ;).
Take care, Sal
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Again, you guys are great. Generous beyond belief! I'm ok with my reel repairs but it's nice to see such support. Thank you. Besides , tinkering with reels has a certain therraputic value.

Well... a box of reels from Sandy showed up..14 of them.

Stella, Calcuttas and lots of TLD's....

Two Accurate Boss 270's

The WD40 trick has been working quite well. I have a dirty bucket for the initial dunking and a cleaner bucket for the final rinse.

Lots of bearing damage. The Trinidad I opened had the drive shaft bearing rusted tight.

One of the calcuttas as well as the Stella has had bearings that would not come around. I use an ultrasonic on bad ones with simple green and another one with diesel in it for the tough cases. Neither helped.

I'm glad the season is over and I have plenty of time with them!

My parts list is going to be extensive!
