Well I picked up another 12/0 for a pet project of mine, looks a little rough but we'll see what we can do in the upcoming days. I plan on cleaning her up, new drag stack and a double dog treatment. So we will see what we get from this old lady in the upcoming days.

Nice job!
You got those side plates shining nicely, and the wear on the internals looks minimal (from what I can make out).

Yes this reel cleaned up really well and was in better shape than the initial photos showed. Once she is double dogged she will be a real kicker.
