Sure,
I wondered if that teardrop lock for the handle nut was correct, but now remember it from the Internationals I've had.

Well, it's the lull between the rush, so to speak...  The Xmas crowd have come and gone, we wait now for the new year mob to crash my open door policy I have,  Which is kinda cool.....

So,  " Just as I find them ",, It still kind of is with this one, I just wanted to share....
  This was an absolute beauty of a reel, I was fortunate to buy off my friend Randy, with a long history back to Ted ( maxed-out)..
A sales man sample Accurate 6/0... unused.
It sits on my office table at home, along with a few others that I tinker with, or have just finished the clean up on. And since nothing " actually new" will arrive before we tick over to a " bright new year ", I just had to crack this puppy open........

AND, it did not disappoint !!!  simply stunning piece of engineering, coupled with some Penn 6/0 insides.....
I am so glad I did crack this girl open, as I found one side plate screw, with plain and simply, insufficient grease !! I quickly went to work and am happy to pass on, that the said screw, is now properly greased and ready for another 30 odd years of being shelved and admired   ;D

Just thought I'd share..........
True reel porn....

Oh,  for some reason the reel shot never came thru,  So here's where it sits...... minus the towel  ::)
This is, without doubt one of my favourite reels.....
I'm kinda feelin it needs a another sitting beside it .......

Indeed. Accurate didn't seem to skimp on the aircraft grade aluminium. Machined, I think(better than molded). You could look for the Jigmaster 500 Magnum size Accurate with the 113H guts, but probably slim to none chances of finding a pristine one.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
