it likely has canvas drag washers.  there is probably no easy way to convert it to greased carbon fiber. it would be tough to bring this reel up to current standards.   :-\

There's a used one on ebay for $67. They are from a time before Okuma got involved with Tiburon and started making really good conventional reels.

I`ve had a couple of them, I am sure I placed CF drags in them, both were very smooth reels, but I would not pay anymore than, US$40, good luck cheers Don.
