What is the black sliding knob on the right side for? How is it used?

I just got a Pflueger Supreme push button model ... unused it's as old or older than me .. I'm 63,... yours looks a bit older than mine... most likely...50's

I have the AG seven got it on eBay from England a workhorse good drag pulled in a 35” bullred several decent size stingrays and a 42”&39” shark installed 50’tightline hollowcore braid 65lb top shot 100 yards you will not be disappointed at all mated on a 9ft vexan

Thanks for the video I have one that came in a box of fixer uppers not working one bail spring was bad but got it back together and it works with just one wore out spring. I did buy 2 new ones thats why I looked up your video. Good work they are kinda fiddly for a Mitchell.

Nice

I was yelling during the video. Anti reverse dog! Good videos though. Did you ever find a way to shim a bearing on that crank side?

I have the same reel but the 2200. It was my father’s. I am wondering what you used as a cleaner to “give it a bath”?

This reel is a classic!

Definitely need a in depth review if you haven’t already

That's a nice collection you have.

I just picked up my Dad’s old Mitchell 300a. I cannot wait to fish with it.

nice informative video , i may be able to get my dads running again thanks for the teaching

Very ingenious! I love it. I have all the Penn Z reels except the two ultralights. I’ve used my 706Z since the 1970s. I love that reel for surf fishing. Great video!

The brake was too tight

Them r so easy to work on

That's awesome! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the Tutorial just got my 60s ambassadör 5000 in the mail today and i stripped it down and washed it all out regreased&lubed everything and the only difference in our reel that there was a black nylon washer below the white spacer up to the handle or bushing . Other than that pretty much the same reel ive got a single handle on mine just because om a clumbsy retriever . Their totalt worth that low $ for a reel in this condition i payed 31$ with shipping it would have been around 50-60$ if it were a 60s handle on it . Pike fishing in Emån tomorrow here in Sweden ! I actually been to the Svängsta factory back in 2003 i had an internship in Mörrum at the Fishfarmery down there . Tight lines and Thanks again for the Tutorial (cant find one in Swedish funny huh ? ) Regards Paul-Roger Nilsson South Sweden

Subscribed ,trying to find me a couple of these in good shape, like the older reels much better, so saving this video

What a great reel .classic

I have one of these cool little reels on it's way to me right now, and your video is going to be a huge help to me when I start servicing it, so thank you. 😊

Reel nice video.....

Would have an outstanding video if it was in frame a key points.

Mine the button doesn’t click when you push the button it comes right back down when you take your thumb off.

Cant go wrong with a c4, fast retrieve, good capacity, just a simple and tough reel.

My level wind does not move back and forth in the reel?? Everything else seems to work. What could it be??

Thanks for the video! I have a 763 and it's a very nice reel. Also a question....have you ever worked on a Heddon Heritage 45 Mark III? I have one with the pouch, paperwork, etc. Near perfect cosmetically and works perfectly, so the risk vs reward isn't there for me to take it apart at the moment. Still, I'm curious what it looks like inside if there's a video out there somewhere. Thx!

Thanks i have a DAIWA 4000X this helped me to clean it up,

do you have a website? how much are your services. I have my dads vintage shimano quick shot I may want to send in.

Grew up very reliable. Never breakdown. Great catfishing reel

I have a semi-dumb question. I just got a Daiwa 1600C. It was my dad's. The handle is on the wrong side for me. Can the handle be swapped to the other side? I am afraid to do it because I do not want to break or ruin it. I want to fish with it to have some memories of fishing with my dad.

Thank you for finding the perfect reel for my Dad's vintage rod! I wish you and our Dad's would have had the opportunity to fish together.

Hey brother I’m from California. Pretty new at fishing. I just got one of those from a buddy who doesn’t fish anymore. Looks in good condition but it won’t real in. And the clicker for when you cast doesn’t seem to click when using it it reel in the line. Would you be interested in seeing if you could fix it for me?

Would you be willing to sell this combo ?

Those reels we use for 50-80lb catfish

I have my dad's 1355 He told me he got it when he was 17yo. That would be 1956. I'm goimg to go fishing with it on my great great uncles split cane H-I Chesapeake Rod this week. I want to at least catch one fish on it before I pass it on to my Grandson.

Love These Videos!! I just love all the vintage stuff!! John , thank you for making these videos, i collect vintage reels mysef. It's a shame soo many people think that a quality reel is the one with the most ball bearings, when its metallurgy first followed by the location of the bushings or bearings. I learned to appreciate good brass bushings when fishing saltwater.

I have about 70 vintage zebco reels for sale, do you know n e one who collects them, they r all n good shape

I really enjoy your videos,I have a Heddon150 spin cast reel on the foot it says Assembled in U.S.A. by DAISY-HEDDON parts made in Japan witch is all so a nice little reel. Were did you get your little blue work station? That really looks handy& organized.

Nice dad!

running forever = not lubricated enough

So smooth

Those are nice kits! Don't think I've seen those before.

That’s really cool!

What are you going to ask for that one?

Thanks for the video. Nice reel!

I just bought a similar reel and was wondering how you deal with not getting a birds nest.

Reel nice

This video was very helpful. I was having problems with my pro plus and needed to know how the anti reverse part fit into the reel.

Nice addition to your collection John. Have a great Holiday weekend! Tad

Got to love those screws
