Reel Repair by Alan Tani

$22 on Ebay with $9.95 S/H. I cleaned it inside and out, luibed it and Cal greased the HT100's. I really like it.

It is really smooth. I can't wait to feel a nice Striper on it.

I've been trying to get into one for a while, yours looks really good. Bryan's 5+1 drag stack will fit and make this thing killer. Basically a easy way to get into a 505.

I had one of those , they are a really nice little reel and with a 5 plus 1 upgrade they would be great . I sold it to someone who loved it though.

It has the Ht100, Cals grease upgrade. I did it. Don't I have to order a Carbontex set for a 5+1 upgrade?

I serviced a few of those. All had different spin rates. I have to think plate swell caused them to slow down. There's nothing to adjust. Just clean and oil em. I was thinking about using a drill bit to maybe hone out the  handle hole to loosen it up but I was afraid to crack the side plate. One guy was using it for his grandson and I think the others just have them for the memories. Odd reel with no antireverse. Cool little piece of Penn history.
