Wayne (el pescador) came by my house and dropped off a couple of reels someone had given to him.  One was an Ocean City Bay (circa 1931) and a Pflueger Interocean 300 (circa 1920) Patent date June 16, 1908.  They were in rough shape having been in a shed for a bunch of years.  These are the before pictures.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

Nothing wrong with that meter, there are still several analog systems that go haywire if you try to measure something that generates a digital signal.

Great work on the reels, as is expected.

Great work Wayne.  I'm sending you my reels that need this kind of cleaning.   ;D
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

I forgot you posted this.  I checked it also after your post.  Sure enough there I was working away.  Dominick
