Excuse the typo. Good show, excellent video. What an education I received watching this video plus two others before. I have a PENN reel that has been apart for over 30+ YEARS. Thank you for the scoop on the schematics and where to find the them. MAHALO!!!
100% awesome instruction series .... first time working on a Penn 210 and after following your instructions, looks better than new and runs smoooooth! You are the reel God - thanks
Ordered a Beachmaster 160 off eBay that was in terrible shape. Rust, corrosion, drag washers were in pieces, not good. Darned spool gear was stuck to the shaft. I followed this and got it unstuck today. A bunch of work, an ultrasonic cleaner and any number of cleaning items and the internals are shining again. Got the reel today, should get the drags tomorrow as I rightfully assumed I'd need them. Cool little reel this one is. Look forward to using it since it was really in bad shape when I got it today!
Appreciate your hard work and effort. Great video. You helped me restore a 60 year old Pen 9. I was going to pay $400 for a new musky reel. But I was told that this brand-new old real would do the trick that I got for twenty bucks. A sled team of dogs can't pull the drag and it spins as smooth as butter after your tutorial. You are the man.
Hi Dennis. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. They have given me confidence to disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble all of my reals including 4 Penn 500 Jigmasters. I’ll keep watching! All the best from the Space Coast of Florida.
Dennis, I've got a Penn Jigmaster that I got used sight unseen. When I opened it up, there was so much caked on grease in the bridge, it was terrible. But thanks to your video's I was able to get it cleaned up and get new drag washers in it (the others were so old the fell apart trying to take the stack out). Thank you for the videos. The only problem this one has now is the clicker tongue is extremely corroded. How do I get that out to replace it without destroying the click button?
You cannot remove the click tongue as it is peened on to the button. The best you can do is to remove the click ring and soak the assembly with a rust buster or penetrating oil to free it up. Thanks for watching and for asking - Dennis
I have the penn 210 the worm gear was working fine then it started reeling partially to either side can I just remove it and use it as a conventional reel
James Garrett you can just remove it, but why not fix it. The problem is usually a pawl or broken idler gear. If you are going to pull it apart anyway you can just as easily fix it - thanks for asking Dennis
I don't know the answer. I have been told that the O stands for Ocean and that the 1,2,3,4,6,9, 10 etc were model numbers based on size smallest to largest. I have also been told that the 1,2,3,4 etc referred to the line capacity in 100s of yards for the olde linen line. I don't know and I have Benn unable to find out what it was based on. I do not believe it is corrupters to hook size - Dennis
Would you recommend brake parts cleaner instead of wd40 to clean old grease ? BP cleaner is my "go to" for cleaning old grease off metal but maybe there's something I don't know.
There are several cleaners that are similar. I have had success with WD40 and it is multipurpose, so I stay with it. I know a lot of folks that use the brake parts cleaner as an alternative. Either way it is mission accomplished if they get rid of the old grease. Thanks for sharing - Dennis
Brake parts cleaner is harder on the plastic. I like to wash plastic and metal parts with detergent and water and then blow dry with compressed air before lubricating everything.
Search my channel for the Ocean City 940. This is identical to the 747 with the exception of the level wind. I do not have a 747 at the moment. I will add to my list and do one when available. In the meantime, the OC 940 video will show you the basics. Thanks for asking - Dennis
Sorry for the confusion. I just did a search. I don't have one of these. I will add to my list. This looks like a Japanese reel from the 60's and may have been made by Compac line by the body shape. I will do one if/when available. Thanks for the clarification

Nice to hear your feedback, now go put that reel back together and give it a 2nd Chance! Thanks for watching - Dennis

God, I'm not, but thank you for the kind words of encouragement. Please stay tuned for more to come - Dennis

The sleeves and other parts for your reel are available through Mysticparts.com. They are a regional authorized Penn Reels parts distributor - Dennis

@@2ndChanceTackle ok I'll have to order another one
Hey what does mean 6/0 on a Penn reel??
I think it's the size of the hook you should use.. tell me

Always enjoy watching your videos so informative! Do you sell reels also?
Yes - I do sell reels. If you are looking for something special, send me a note at 2ndchancetackle@gmail.com - Dennis
No dog spring in this reel? I must have missed its installation.
The dog spring is on the bridge as is the dog. It installs differently than some of the other Penn Reels
Hey Dennis can you do a True Temper 737?
Search my channel for the Ocean City 940. This is identical to the 747 with the exception of the level wind. I do not have a 747 at the moment. I will add to my list and do one when available. In the meantime, the OC 940 video will show you the basics. Thanks for asking - Dennis
Thank you Dennis for your reply I can't find where the spring goes for the anti reverse
@@2ndChanceTackle the True Temper 737 is a spinning reel the Ocean City you're talking about is a conventional reel
Sorry for the confusion. I just did a search. I don't have one of these. I will add to my list. This looks like a Japanese reel from the 60's and may have been made by Compac line by the body shape. I will do one if/when available. Thanks for the clarification
@@2ndChanceTackle thank you Dennis I've watched all your videos and have learned alot but stuck on this 1$ reel I picked up
Is it not tiny bit dangerous to use the flame and WD40? Not only the risk of flash fire but also the vapors? How do you control this?
How to restore a frozen real; soak in warm water till thawing occurs
I will have to try that! - Dennis
I think the term frozen here applies to rusted solid. Not iced.
