This long beach 65 came yesterday. Sorry for the crappy pics I know the lighting sucks.
Is the stand correct? Are those clamp stud holes supposed to be there?

   Yep Chris, there was a clamping stand available for the 60 and 65 beaches. It was an accessory item. You just need the screws and clamp. That's a dandy 65, good grab! 8)

 I've been trying to curb my spending, but never expected to win this lb60 for $9 ... I was the only bidder. I guess nobody likes the long beach anymore except Mo, Chris, and little old me   ;D ;D

   It's hard to pass on a deal like that Ted...the handle alone is worth 9 bucks! Great solid reel. 8)

Very nice, well defined picture-plate. Hard to find one in that condition. Looks like the "spring-ball" (for the oiler) in the bushing is either missing or the ball's off the spring. Got a couple like that, is there a fix or do ya gotta get a diffrent one?

   I've had a few like this myself. Actually...I've created a few like this!
If you take a micro screwdriver or similar tiny instrument and kinda dig around in there the ball will pop back out most times.

That Senator looks like a heck of a good score.  Those are not easy to find.

What do you guys think? There is a chrome plating shop in my town. Im thinking about taking it in at least for an estimate. If its not outrageous I may consider it. It might not even be possible

Chris leave it the way it is it has character !!  If you re chrome it first off you will see old pitting marks under the chrome and second the side plates and rest of the reel won't match the shinny metal work !! It's like re bluing an old gun !  It ain't worth it !       That is what I think  Lol !!!     John Taylor
