Reel Repair by Alan Tani

That will certainly put some fish in the bag.....what are you fishing for in those parts of the world?  Bill

You can catch wels catfish, big carp or even specimen northern pike and everything in between

Purchased a used Everol 6/0 for $227.50 + shipping off ebay. Even though I was thinking of buying one, particularly brand new, this one was a spur of the moment decision. Beautiful reel. It has a red drag plate, so made in the 70s? Appears to be in pretty good condition and looks better in person than in photos, so I'm pleasantly surprised about that  . I noticed there is some grease under the reel seat, the Alan Tani way. I haven't took it apart yet, so will have pictures later. Kinda nervous about this one, though, as it is my first lever drag, and I saw redsetta's tutorial, and it is way more complicated than what I'm used to. The Shimano spinners that I took apart look like a piece of cake in comparison. I'm going to take my time on this.

Keep us posted on that Everol.
My only concern would be finding parts that are beyond repair.
Like that roller bearing and bushing.
If you need any contact info for parts. PM Me.

Meet the Mandarin Crew,  three Ming Yang 7000 size reels under different brands. All of them had their pre-fishing service including carbontex drag washers.

I also got hold of my first leverdrag reel: An unused Fladen Maxximus 6/0. The original fiber drag washer was replaced with a carbontex one, the cam profile was altered to be more progressive and also the reel got 2 extra bearings for the handle shaft. The other one is the modified Chieftain.

New additions

A Penn 220GTO which was not well looked after. The pre-fishing service was done and also the stand screws upgrade was carried out
A Penn 209 which started as a defective 209LC. The LC sideplate was replaced wuth a normal one, pre-fishing service was done and waiting on replacement stainless stel screws for it
The third reel is a trade reel named Advanda RHW30L. A set of carbontex washers and 2 extra bearings found theit way in.

A Mitchell TI 20-30 GL found its way to me. This reel received the pre-fishing service, 2 extra bearings for the handle shaft, a max drag limiter, reprofiled cam follower for a progressive drag curve, thumbnuts for the rod clamp studs and a carbonfiber drag washer, complete with Cal's grease.

You don't see that every day. Well done. What's the max drag limiter?

You are getting quite an arsenal built up, Tile!

In the case of the Mitchell leverdrag, the max drag limiter is a small piece of steel fashioned from a 3mm diameter pin. Its job is to limit how much the preset knob is turned as to prevent setting the reel to a max drag value that can cause damage, especially to the pinion bearing and nonhandle side spool bearing.
