Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Just thought I would do another video for my channel and share it here. I hope someone might find it useful!
The 1000X is one of my favorites. They can be had for good prices usually and they were well built aluminum body/rotor reels.
Anyway, here are the upgrades:

Full disclosure...I had already done these upgrades but I always label and save my old parts...so I put everything back to stock and did the upgrades again for the video 

Excellent, Kevin --

And very well done as well as understandable.

Best,

Fred

Thanks!

Hey I have one of those I bought for $5 at yard sale, knowing it was a better reel than a $30 plastic wallyworld special. GREAAAATTT now I'm gonna have to start upgrading spinners....and there are totes and totes of them...

I would like to see some of your stash if you start working on them! I order a lot of reels from eBay and I never know just what I am getting exactly until I have it in my hands. I would love to see some posts where people go through their older reels and tell a little about what they like and dislike about them. It would probably help a lot of people out in the future. I just ordered a Roddy 820A from an eBay seller. It looks like the sort of reel I would like but there wasn't a lot of information about them that I could find online. A forum like this is a great place to get more information out about a wide variety of spinners. I will post ones as I work on them. Here is the reel I ordered. As far as I can tell it is a smaller worm gear drive model. That is a great starting point for a nice reel.

Just read this post. Been looking at the same Roddy wondering how well they are built. You tear yours down?

I did and I don't really like it much honestly. There are others that are made much better out there.

Great video. When i get reels like that its a given that they get bearings. Neat trick on the anti reverse.

Thanks. I looked at parts listed for this reel on eBay and did not really care for what I saw.
IOU. You probably saved me about 20 bucks.

No problem! I can highly recommend the Shakespeare 2062...similar size and very well made, still has worm drive/pinion gear setup.
