I picked up this Dinosaur last week.
The seller had it on a rod, I asked for just the reel.

It is like many I have seen before, but it cleaned up really nice.
I was surprised the stack was worn out.

A little elbow grease and chrome polish and this old girl is looking pretty good.

A new set of steel gears and a standard 7 stack with an ss sleeve.

Just a tad of Blue Loctite on the 5/0.

From old crusty, to Shark Ready. ;)

Lookin good Mr. D. Another workhorse back in action! Fine job!
................Lou
That's fantastic work! Did you use a bronze gear sleeve? I think you know this was my next project, where's the second dog walkthrough? ;)
Nice job Daron! ;)
Al
Excellent work, Daron --
Best,
Fred
Excellent work Daron - ones not enough aye .lol. ;D
Rgds
Matt...
Daron, are you certain you have no relation to Otto Henze ?
No need to check ancestry dot com.......the proof is in the pudding :D :D
What I want to know is how many reels it took to empty that jar of penn grease ? One of those jars would last me a lifetime ;) ;)
Ted
Looks great!
Daron do you always add loctite to your aftermarket handle/knob threads? I just got one of Alan's 5/0 handles and greased the screw for the handle, but the more I think about it I may degrease it and add some loctite....
Also: Off subject but loctite autocorrects to lactate...hilarious to me with the wife just having the baby and always seeing the little man eating :D
my experience, especially with the two part "ball type" knobs, is that they can vibrate in transit and back off. just a drop of locktite blue.
I used a stainless sleeve Robin. No double dog on this one.
I don't know how many reels it takes to empty a pound tub Ted, but that was my third one. ;D
Yes Dan, I lactate all my 5/0 grips. :D Probably overkill, but it gives me peace of mind.
Thanks for posting. I just picked a
Up really crusty 10/0 off fleabay the other day, don't have it yet but I will be using your thread for reference.
Nice rescue. Looks very good. 10 out of 10 .
Daron,
Nice going on bringing this old 10/0 back into service.
That one-piece spool is a bonus.

Unless the screw is a reverse thread (like Accurate), the act of turning the handle will loosen the screw. No vibration needed. Always use Loctite.
Big D, that's a sweet resto/build out. But yours always are. I feel about the big boys like you do about rod building.... I'd go overboard in hurry if I go past my one 117. Squidders won't break the bank but 118's are a different story lol
QuoteYes Dan, I lactate all my 5/0 grips.
LOL, I'll never call it loctite again ;D
Nice Job,D! You're single-handedly rescuing the world's big boy Senators one at a time. You'll have to line up all your big boys some day so we can see what your poor wife has to deal with, daily. ;)
Keep 'em coming,
Dom
Daron
Did you have your mind on something else? Dan, I lactate all my 5/0 grips. Cheesy Probably overkill, but it gives me peace of mind.
There is no need to overdo it here. I've seen the results of excessive lactating....
Not pretty at all.
Second time I read these last few posts and I laughed for 5 minutes and it's starting to hurt!
another great job daron, boy the spool and chrome reely cleaned up well, use it in the best of health and catch a big one, take care my friend. harryk
I sure hope so Harry,
I only have three more months to do what I wait for all year long.
Good to see you Buddy.
That chrome polish works really well and is cheap.
It is turtle wax brand, found in almost any automotive store.
thanks for the tip daron, i'll have to give it a try, take care my friend. harryk
You guys are killing me. ;D
