Title: Last ride of the OC Olympic.

Had this one in parts in a bag for fifteen years. Head plate cracked. Parts gone. A five dollar yard saler. Decided to see what could be done. Epoxied plate. Vinegar sisking warped spool left tin foil mil thickness I shattered. Tweaked back best possible and filled back side of bell with epoxy in a dam. Missing head bearing. Made a handle nut. It moved enough to get 200yds vintage nylon on it but it's a one way trip to the shelf now.
