I documented the assembling so you can see the condition of the parts. Nothing to hide here. How many sellers do this?

The main gear is bronze with yellow patina and the pinion is steel. The cut is Gleason helical. Not done anymore from the 70s. Too expensive.

All the parts are there. I didn't want to overdo the cleaning so as to not damage the remaining paint.

I lubricated the ball bearing with german grease and the internals with Penn marine blue grease. This one won't harden in time and works well in cold temperatures in winter.

I refurbished it as good as any of my reels. I am using for fishing only such vintage reels.

The knob is usable. The spool loaded with some line I don't care about. I recommend changing it.

This reel is a user one, not a shelf to look at one. Reel ready to fish several years before replacing the grease. And fish some 30-50 more years.

Life is short. Fish as often you can.

I am a fisherman also and caught many chub and perch on this model of reel. It's really fast.

I think the price is fair. Compare it with the expensive far east garbage which lasts only a few seasons before internals break.

Also you can still find online any replacement part.

I am reluctant to sell it but I am a fisherman, not a collector nor an investor. I will relist it at the same low price until it sells.
