Hi BB,

Yes I was born in that era so I am pretty that is where my name came from. Well I did the reassemble yesterday afternoon. Everything looks pretty good from all the grease and oil over it I think whe I first picked it up. The reel bearings had a bit of up and down movement and the rear roller bearings are really bad. Also the bearing for the clutch shaft in the little housing pretty much fell apart, so I am looking at all new bearings. Everything else should clean up nicely. I am going to replace both bits of cork while its apart. Can I ask what is best to glue them on with? So now just the big clean up, paint and reassemble over the coming weeks [Linked Image]
