ya know, there is no one in my area who will even look at a reel, reason may be that a reel can be replaced for less than what most reels cost new.
"avarage being $20
some one spends a couple hours on overhualing and cleaning one, well lets just say with todays rate of pay.... 40 years ago you could afford to have some one overhual a $20 reel when the pay scale was $2.10 an hour... but then again a $20 dollar reel back then is the same in comparison of a $80 reel today.
even the upper class reels today no one wants to look at around here, they would rather sell you a new one...
