I been fixin & claning my abu's for years! Once in awhile I will fix/clean a friends reel if they be in a reel pinch!
I can tell you I will never be taking business away from reel repair/cleaning folks at $25 a reel. IMHO that is too cheap for the time invloved to do it right! If someone will clean a reel for $20 to $25 bucks plus parts, you better take em up on it.
I work on my own reels because I enjoy it, but it would be a tough way to make a living! Hats off to those folks that provide this service.
