Reels were made to be used, art created to admire. So a bit of a dilemma then!
I would just have to use that reel though. It deserves an opportunity to prove itself in the manner intended and no doubt will give much pleasure in so doing.
Congratulations, a very nice acquisition and I hope to see a picture of it doing its duty at some point in the future?
