Certainly Mepps has to be fairly high up on the quirky list, moreso the Super Meca, but I don't have one of those yet, so I've posted my 1936 Baby Vamp and 1950..ish Super Vamp,
Here's the Super Meca breakdown. It's quite an interesting reel to dig into.
Quote from: akfish on Today at 06:56:07 PMOne potential problem when you reassemble: The main gear on some of those very old Senators had grooves to hold the "ears" on the metal drag washers that were too short to hold both of the eared drag washers in a 5-stack drag. A new gear would solve the problem, or you could resemble the reel with only one eared drag washer -- which would reduce effective drag. Or you could just stack up a couple HT-100 washers so they are the same thickness as the original drag washers. Again, this reduces the drag.Or get super bold and drill the ear-grooves down deeper? I've done it on other reels.
