Thanks all !

Jim - you've got some good history there. I can not get out to try anything till this weekend or later.

Will probably clean all of them up the best I can, and at least fish with the Penn, while displaying the rest as a historical remembrance to my father-in-law who fished a lot with these reels.

i had no idea the reels were that horrible back then.

you could just get a couple penn 500s, you'll live.

btw, that tld5 with the rough gears i mentioned earlier killed another fish today
