Here is another reel from My friend's bucket.
The simplicity in this reel is amazing and yet built like a tank, here are a couple of shots:

This reel is very close in size to the Penn 9500SS, but it's a little lighter



here are the drags, the configuration is very similar to conventional reels, having the spring washer on the stack shouldn't give too much pressure on the knob itself

Here is a shot of the guts, very simple. No screws on the shaft just a pin that pulls right out


nice stainless steel pinion

besides customizing the carbon fiber washers, this reel took me less than five minutes to service


This reel is very smooth, no bearings anywhere, I bet it could be fished while under water.
I'm always impressed with these vintage reels
enjoy!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Another great find! You will have to build another reel cabinet if you keep taking in strays! ;)

Bob, I have no idea who made it.
I know it was engineered and developed in California and manufactured in Japan.
According to some additional research that I've done, this reel might be from 41/42.
I could see these would have knocked reel repair shops out of business if still available today.
This reel is much smoother than my 9500SS, the bail snaps better than anything I have.
It's just a very well made reel.
I will fish this one , just to see how it handles. It's a large reel, but only 1 1/4 lbs in weight.

Very cool reel. I bet it was even Ted Williams approved.

Wow, that reel looks like it can handle a monster.
: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
