I'm litterally assembling my turquoise green Pacific right now. 🙂👍 It must be one if the most beautiful reels of all time. And the quality - many still working after 70 years.
I completely agree with you, one of the most beautiful vintage reels in this color. However, it must be adjusted well so that it brings positive emotions. It's not that hard…
@@vintage_reels I have a problem withe angle of the bail arm. It´s about 50 degrees too far out. Looks out when it´s in. Must be the bail arm axis through the tube/holder, but it has two slots at the rear, which only fits two ways in the angled aluminium piece that goes into the "disc"/spool housing. I have studied my photos, your video and another video - the bail arm disengage mechanism in the housing is as it should. It´s as if the bail arm axis through the tube has wrong angles. Strange... Question: The 0,1 mm thick washer you add in one video - it´s only to compensate for wear right? Not original? I have never seen a Centaure Pacific in the condition that yours is. Stunningly beutiful. Merveilleuse.
