[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 519768, member: 21536"] The sciatica is better but I'm still moving around a little gingerly. So, yesterday I did a tune-up on an old Garcia Mitchell 300 I bought a few years back at a garage sale. It is one of the made in France models. It has no particular value from a collector's standpoint. I like it because it brings back fond memories. I stripped it down completely, cleaned off all the old goopy stuff, & put it back together with new lubricants. All the parts were still in good shape. Now I need to find a rod to put it on. Next up is my old Penn 720Z (made in USA). BTW, I bookmark a link to 2nd Chance Tackle on You Tube. Guy has a big library with reel repair videos. If you really want to get down into the weeds, I learned from these boards about a very comprehensive reel repair site called "Reel Repair by Alan Tani" (alantani.com). [/QUOTE]
