Picked this little UL off ebay for a few bucks. Took it apart and cleaned/lubed.  There is literally like five parts to this reel.  It appears to be from 1975. I spoiled it with 200 yds of 8 lb test and had her out in the yard teaching her how to cast it. She did great! I think we are going to go try to catch something tomorrow!

PS- my kids regularly out fish me now, so be ready  :D

That's a nice one, she'll catch on to fishing it in a few minutes once you get her to water.

BTW, I had the older version of that reel. Gave like 2 bucks at Heck's Dept. Store and got change back around 1973.  Looked like this one in the pic from ebay.

Alright! That's the way to get 'em started---without bein skunked!
Haveta say, when I's a kid, there was just somethin about bein on the water that woulda kept me commin back, even with bein skunked.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I serviced both a 7270A and a 7280A today.  https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=30442.0 Fewest parts I recall in a reel.

Here's the 7270A and schematics.
