How to service a vintage Johnson Tangle-free 8 spincast fishing reel.

I picked up a Century 225 and got it back in shape, looks like identical internals. Nice reel, the 225 was marked USA made on the edge of the button. I rub some silicone spray (or Armorall) on the graphite and plastic parts, they look new again. My rotor was a little different, there was an opening on the rotor over the pickup pin parts, and a tiny protrusion on the pickup pin arm that you use to move the arm out of the way to tighten down the rotor nut.
