So I bought one of these reels off eBay Fr and it arrived today. The reel looks great and comes in the box with the papers and original contents. The reel looks as though it has been looked after but there are some strange noises coming from it when winding and the spool when free does not spin very well at all and is noisy . I think I am going to have to strip and clean it think the bearings may be gone but may just need cleaned and oiled. There was nearly no line on it but the spool is spotless as does the rest of the reel it is odd it is so noisy though ... something to look at after dinner
