Old used unloved.
Cleaned up the not so dirty one and running nicely now. Still wants a full strip down and polish some parts, but very useable.
Stripped and rewound and cleaned 2 spools. Line needs pulling but seemed better after rewinding.
Started on 3rd spool, stripped line, but I think a repair at some point in it's life as spool as a fine lock wire in recess to catch the handle and that's too tight, looks like too thick a wire. Should be fixable.....
1 spool to do in morning.
The second reel is working but very gummed up and the reel foot is loose which looks like some peening over of the rivet will cure, one to play with and maybe become a spares donor.
