I talked to you about this reel about a month or so ago. Any how, I got the gear shaft and star swapped out and everything was fine except for one thing, something is rubbing when you trun the handle. If you turn the handle it rubs something in one spot, put it in freespool and you don't hear it, put back in gear and there it is again. I've just about worn the screws out trying to figure this out and no luck. Help Mister Wizard.....
Oh, and it has a chome, brass spool. It looks to be new from everything that I can see.
any chance i can crack it open?
Alan, let get a hold of the boy that owns the reel and I'll get back to you.
