Hi all.
Got this Jig-master 500 in a box of junk the other day and Ive been trying to figure the age of it .
So far this one is eluding me .
I havent been able to find any pics that are the same .
For instance the left side plate has no lettering or markings at all .
The free spool lever has an on and off position not "free Spool" as I've seen on other jm 500 pics .
Wondering if its worth giving a polish up (mechanically its good) or is it just a junker .
Appreciate any input .
Cheers Al
Couple more
not sure of the age, but the stainless steel spool is nice!
Definitely fishable.
I don't think it is that rare.
I have a few like that.
Thanks guys .
Yeh I didnt think it was a rarey , heaven knows there are plenty of them out there . Just find the marking interesting as I ahvent been able to find pics of similar .
Its actually buffing up quite nice , the pitting in the chrome is not that bad .
Might put some carbontex in it and use it . :)
cheers
Done , bit of elbow grease and a lot of "Dremmell"
Pic of my tool Porcupine just cause I'm so proud of it ;D ;D
