Broken sustain
Submitted by flangies on Mon, 2009-11-09 20:38
Ok well what happened is a was taking the reel from the reelseet and it slipped and fell onto the concrete, checked the bail arm quickly and checked for dents. Everything seemed ok untill i went to wind it , it wont oscilate...
Because i bought the reel second hand it didnt come with any paperwork or anything so will this be fixed without too much cost involved? would really love it in action soon

Hey Flangies I've got a copy
Hey Flangies
I've got a copy of the schematics if you need. Let me know if you need a copy. The oscillation gears are plastic so shouldn't be too costly. Fairly somply reel to work on. Just serviced my 8000 before Coral Bay. Not too much involved in them.

Heaps of good macks and tuna
Heaps of good macks and tuna on it Flangies. Hooked up on a nice sail in Exxy in Feb this years. Great reels, just upgraded the drag washers to Carbontex, just haven't been able to use it in anger.

more like the oscillation
more like the oscillation gear is not even attached!!
Just had to tighten up a few screws and put back a bushing. Nothing to it...
