So I received a FREE 7500SS that is in need of some love. The inside was completley DRY...and actually a cloud of dried grease...puffed out when I pulled open the side plate.
So...it needs a new handle, to replace the teflon drag washer, needs a new drag knob, and a small spring.
What else is out there?
You can convert the Carbon drags to hex as Sal showed us. Wallace came up with a little different Configuration that Sal approved of, but it will give you more drag.

If you order a drag knob, get the newer style. They are stronger and don't crack as easily as the older version.
There is also a Titanium ratchet and double dog upgrade provided by Adam. I'm not sure if he is still making these.

You can go with a power handle to replace the stock one. Also, brass main gear is better.
This is a 9500, but you get the idea. The newer style drag knobs on the right, older on the left.

I make the titanium ratchet and dogs, but I'm out of stock at the moment. I'll have another batch in a couple of weeks.
