Thank you for the warm welcome, Bryan Bob and Alan!
It happened again...I have been browsing through the various topics and threads for an hour or so.
There is just so much information packed into this site it's unbelievable!
I guess I'm probably breaking a rule by posting a second time in the first post section, so I am going to go to the General section to start asking questions now

no rules against that!  go for it.  the only rule is to behave like there's a 12 year old at the dinner table. 

um, did that come out right?   

[slowpoke]

Well, that's easy as at my house there really is a 12 yr. old at the table. Right next to the 11 yr. old.
But being jr. high school boys, I find myself having to remind them that their Mother is at the table

Hello

I'm brand new to messing around with the inside of reels.  starting off with 2 penn squidder 140's and a penn jigmaster as my ebay projects.

in 3 weeks this forum has helped me a lot.  i look forward to my new obsession with reels.

Mac.

Veriano is here, alias "knife" from Rome
I'm a traditional bowhunters, bowmaker, knifemaker and fisherman, especially I like trolling fishing.
Recently I have become a Penn Senator fan and hoping to share this passion with others.
I like hear the sound,  touch, disassembly, reassemble and also only to watch them  
The biggest tuna I've taken by trolling was two years ago with a penn 114 and since that time only penn in my mind on the sea.
I am interested in only the old ones model because they evoke something inexplicable, is the same reason why I collect old bows.
Now I have a 117 14/0 and a 116 10/0 to restore and study and I'll need your help to do a good job.
Thanks to Alan for the kindness and the opportunity and also to you all.

Knife, welcome to the forum. You are afflicted with the same PENN disease that many of us have. PENNdicitis. Don't worry there is a cure. Buying more PENN reels seems to cure any symptoms. Good luck.
