You bet! I still have a few to go and I have a question into Mystic Parts on the GTi as the frame you got and the one on the reel are different versions
Nice job Dennis, the fresh water wash / soak after a trip is something I've always done (with nigh religious fervour!) ...probably why my well used 1974 ABU 6500C is still in pretty good condition - and casts beautifully.
hi mate, excellent couldn't ask for better in terms of reel breakdown advice etc except maybe a higher def camera/video - 1080p fg. I just bought this exact reel second hand in the marketplace - the guy said he used it once which is hard to decern on the spot. Any way paid about 20USD, took it home, used your video which made the breakdown a breeze, know what im doing generally but whenever i encounter a new reel i always search the dos and donts.... which led me to your channel - fantastic. What a beaut of a reel so easy to maintain and use, made in japan, most stuff is china nowadays with poor internals. Anyway thanks!
Thanks for doing the video on my reel!

Yes they are. Thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis

This is the exact video i needed, just bought one of these 2nd hand today so a strip inspect clean and service is in order😊
Glad to help - Thanks for the note and for watching - Dennis
Very no - nonsense Professional looking Reel.
Simple therefore, complex. It take a lot to make something simple!
Nice reel! I always thought these model Speedmaster reels had centrifugal brakes inside the side plate. Maybe a different generation?
I don't recall those brakes on these reels
