I'm in dire need of some restoration, possibly a complete rebuild, but I think I'm beyond even your powers.

A few months ago I posted pictures of a similar reel I bought, viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8768&p=305086&hili ... em#p305085 this is what they can be like if they're looked after.

Wow. Lovely job Sir. I have never tackled such a wreck. It's a wonder it didn't end up in the bin. It will be a fantastic reel when your finished.
