Finally got home long enough to wrap this hunk of junk together, one or two bits like handle I might change but she's ready to go right now as-is....
Thanks to Ted for coming off of a set of CC plates for me; I could do no less than go full on these. Ted is good people, lemme tell you.
Tib frame and spool: Mr. Pauly. More good people.
Lots of new bits from Scott's, larger star, etc.
Carbontex / Cal's of course
Most special thanks to Sal. I had a bit of trouble with another coffee can jiggy build I came by and was gonna give it to Sal when he picked me up at Philly airport to go to Penn. I forgot the headplate but he goes " I got you a goody bag....." a full SS double dawg dare you bridge / sleeve/ yoke jack kit....so no way that's going in the 500S beater Frankenreel.....
Thanks, Sal, I hope I did this justice!!!
Beautiful, John!
Best,
Fred
Thanks, Fred! As I was building this I had my specs on at the right time to see that in fact the coffee can problem child had a Squidder pinion it.....doh....
