well I have finally gone over to the dark side and purchased an electric reel for deep dropping her in Western Australia. 300m plus depths.Not wanting to outlay thousands on a reel for the few times i will use it I purchased a Miya Epoch 700dx in pristine condition for less than $500 AUD. everthing works well and being a bare basic reel there are no LCD screens or depth counters to break down on me,If it stops it will be the motor and then time to throw it away.I did want to strip it and lubricate the internal workings before hard use.but i cannot locate any schematics and the only info I can get from over here (and from the Australian distributor no less )is that there are no parts available for these older reels.So if anyone knows how to get hold of a schematic chart then I'm all ears otherwise i guess I just pull it part and hope for the best. You guys are my last hope i think
I'm still in Canada. Hopefully someone will be able to find one for you.
