Matt...if that reel in the pic is yours, it looks to me like it shouldn't be that tough to repair it (saw your joes post). If you want to try, send it along and i'll have a look.
No, that is a mint one in a pic I pulled off the net. The problem with mine is the handle was seized up and when trying to get it free I broke it so it is actually going to need new parts. When I tried to get the handle undone, I was stupid and didn't realize it was aluminum. haha.
