I suppose I need to free up some bench space before the 4/0 parts start arriving this week.....starting to look like Cortez Conversions-Vintage Offshore Tackle Southeast distributor, and this is only the jigmaster projects on the bench....
This is all Alan's fault. And Tom's. And Randy's. And Sal's. And Dan's. And Aiala with her dang blinged out jigmaster collection most of all that made me go dust off the old S's and start looking inside for SS guts ....like a best actor acceptance speech...
A big thanks to Tom and Randy on these projects, and Dawn for the Carbontex!
Sal, I need some delrin under gears otherwise I will post pics of the carbontex fibers for you....:)
And you didn't have nothing to do with that ??? ;D
Joe
Wellllllll.....if you look closely you can see some Newell parts that I put on some of the jiggy's 15 years ago before I knew you called it hotrodding...:)
that sweet motor you just built didn't help me either, Joe!
;D ;D ;D ;D Your welcome!
Joe

Nice collection. And whew, I'm not on the hook.
Bryan, I was about to ask you....when I first joined, you courteously directed not to burn my shop down using rheostat on a DC motor; and thanks! I I got CRB drying lathe but IMO it still turns too fast for use with U40. what are your thoughts on rheostat for the CRB motor?
thanks!
John

Uh-huh! While I wait I'm working on a truly miserable mess of a 114H I rescued from eBay; not because I need it (I surely don't) but because I can't stand to see an abused reel go in the trash... sentimental me. ::)

Aiala, is that the one we had communicated about with the screw in the right side plate? I think that was a 114H. I'm off work today working on my brown and black speckled Long Beach 60 I just picked up.

Sid, yep. I just finished breaking it down... I've seldom seen anything as sorry, it's as if some total idiot poured used motor oil into the works, used it to pound nails into concrete, and then left it submerged in the bay for a month. >:(
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own pets... or Penn Senators. ::) :P

That is all true, Aiala...However, what other reel in the world (or ever produced) can take that kind of treatment -- and be restored to a capable and useful reel?
I have absolute confidence that in your skilled hands -- you will bring this Lazarus back to beautiful condition.
Look forward to pics.
Good work!
Best,
Fred

[/Yes, how about a beforre pic
Quote from: thorhammer on January 14, 2016, 07:39:02 PMYes, how about a before pic?
Thor, in due course I'll post pics of the whole procedure, but meantime just to give you an idea:
This poor reel! :-[

Gee Whizz, some people just have no respect.

Well I guess it's better then to be left dry & rusty. It's easier to clean up oil & grease then rust & corrosion. Time for the rubber gloves & toothbrush.
Ha ha, no shortage of grease.
Love those old steel gears :o
Lawd How Mercy! :o
Aiala, you can do it. Keep the Faith! ;)
When I get one in that bad of shape, I skip right by my normal cleaners.
I put all the parts in a small bucket and pour in Coleman Fuel.
Swish it around a little bit and let it sit for a few minutes.
Then get out the brush and gloves.
Wala! Mess Gone.
Just be careful, as it is highly flammable. Dries quickly and doesn't stink as bad as Brake Cleaner.
Pour it back into the container and seal it up because it evaporates quickly. Just my way.
Quick and Effective.
So, just wondering, how well did the wrench fit over the crank nut? Maybe the problem I've been having is only with the smaller reels and the smaller end of the wrench....???? My largest reel is a 6/0, and that's the only time I've used the larger end of the wrench, and come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it fit just right on the larger nut...
I think I mis-spoke. I think my 49 uses both ends of the wrench....
Aiala: That reel will be thankful you are saving it's life, and giving it a good cleaning :o.

Maybe we should nominate Ailia for Vet of The Year...after reading Dominicks response about feeling like a vet after rescuing a dog of a reel....BILL. ;D....
The 114H is a heck of a reel.
It is heavy, but it has a lot of groceries in a small package compared to the bigger Senators.
When you pick one up, you can just tell, This reel means business.
One of my favorites.
