I saw this while scanning through some ads and got a great deal (I think) on it.
I couldn't find much info on it and it seems to be short lived.  Not made in the USA, but still a Penn  ;D
Anyway, it's in great shape to begin with!  I'm planning to go through to clean and lube it, but I wanted to see if anyone else here had experience with these or if this is unexplored territory here.  
Any thoughts or advice?

I have one Chad, I don't know why, it seemed like a good ides at the time. I've never fished it or opened it up. From the looks of it might be good for 10-12 lb mono since the spool is so small. I looked at the schematic and there's a lot of parts in it and I got gun shy. Post some pics when you get it open.

Would some one open one of these up all ready ?

I know its an old post but I have pics of the internals just haven't figured out how to post pics on this site yet. Cool design and as the 6:1 gear ratio might suggest it has a strong shimano speedmaster design to it.

I just happened to have one on my coffee table while I was organizing a box of reels.  I keep wondering what to do with it.

I'm with Swami,  I'm too gun shy to open it up.
I woke today and suddenly nothing happened.

Sometimes, the old adage ....'if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" ,makes a lot of sense !
There's nothing wrong with a few "F's" on your record....Food, Fun, Flowers, Fishing, Friends, and Fun....to name just a few !

I've opened mine and taken pics, I just haven't figured out how to post the pics ;D

I can't  even see the pictures so I'm not sure what we're talking about?

I can't figure out how to post pics correctly  ;D

If you right click the thingy and click open in new tab it works, at least on my end

I'll try and figure this out, I have more pics

Here's a shot of all parts pulled, everything gets stacked onto the frame then the side plate goes on. Only thing I didn't like was the plastic yoke
