Thank you for reviewing this listing. Used fishing reel has been cleaned but not disassembled and or lubed. I am not an expert on
fishing reels and therefore I do not know each part of each brand and or model
of every fishing reel, if a part is missing and known it will be stated, otherwize please review all the photos and if you know a part is missing please provide that information. Sold "as is" "as described" The reel works as designed but the bakelite handles does not spin free on the handle bakelight posts. This reel is in good condition and is spooled with black line. There is corrosion on the foot and wear marking on the outer case.
