Just wanted to post some pics of these reels in case anyone is interested in them. This may not be a highly collectible reel but it is a good user if you like to use older equipment.
Likes:
* Good inexpensive user reel
* Aluminum body, spool and rotor
* Good rotor balance and pretty smooth operation
* Drag operation is smooth
* 5.2:1 Gear Ratio
Dislikes:
* Plastic bail arm on the line roller side (the bail stop had actually broken off of this one's plastic arm)
* Not easily upgradable to ball bearings for the main drive gear
Here is a link to a cleaning/restoration slideshow I put together that someone may find useful for assembly purposes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L04v0-hmGaI
