Title: Monofil 25
Post by: Jerseymic on February 10, 2015, 11:46:49 PM

Little grey Monofil 25 I acquired from Topshot back in December, finally restored to its former glory.

Before I started.

Stripped.

The parts I kept, cleaned and polished.

With the new parts ready to be assembled.

And the finished article.

I am happy with the result, looks good sitting next to my green 26 on display.

Mike.

Thanks guys, I like to try and get things looking good for my collection.

Vilters, no I don't have a purple 27 as yet, perhaps one will turn up in the future.

That's what I like about Penn reels, you can actually make a brand new 1950ish Monofil, just like that 8)

Mike, if you lived closer, I would send you all of my reels to clean and assemble, but it might take you a while ;D.
Your work really stands out.

Thanks guys, but everything I do I have learnt from all of you here.
