Reel Repair by Alan Tani

No luck at the lake,,,,, but got 2 today at the river,,,,,,

Well, my little group of German's and their pack leader/pod leader pretty much run the show around here! Good thing SWMBO is not on the AT Forum (I guess one of the perks of being a moderator  ) because I would be sleeping outdoors if she knew I posted this photo publicly.  Needless to say, the pack sleep quite comfortably every night!  - john

I'm with Swami; I suspect those are asbestos "brake lining" style biscuits that were typical of the time.  Regardless, they need to step aside.  Do a full service, upgrade to the CF drags, and enjoy that classic reel. - john

Very cool interesting collections, Paul. And for wonderful reasons. Love it! Great addition to this site too. If I ever run across a Reelcat I'll let you know.

Seems to me it would matter in that location, I think I would want the right thickness there

$80 to $100, depending on the condition of the reel.

If you find a reel and do it yourself —- just the cost of your reel find.

Best, Fred

I think those washers are asbestos not leather, they were used for many years, I don't think it's a good indicator of age.

Yep, it's not an AG town, well not as much of an AG town anymore.

Can you post a picture or two of the bombs you used with details?

Enquiring minds want to know!
