they are very simple to work on, as long as the reel is not seized up.  because of the corrosion, they can be very hard to take apart.

Good thing that the reel looks new, parts are not easy to find for that reel. I would keep it on a shelf as a sentimental value ;).
If it was a later model, Okuma would have been able to help with parts.
