Just a little more info that may help, its a 3 screw, right side reel design. What kinds of cleaning oil and tools should I use. My question is what should I do to clean this up and what should I be careful with besides the obvious not losing parts and forcing things to move that should but may not want to. The drag and brake knobs are hard to move (to be expected) but mechanically seem very solid overall given being submerged for God knows how long.
I opened it slightly and it has a decent amount of dirt inside. I want to get this reel in working condition because I know they are great solid reels and I have the ability to do it and want to do it myself. Still has very solid red color and minimal rust from what I can tell inside and out. to heat and breakdown in drags and reels (Dropping point is >500F).
It was strung with what appears to be older braided line that is very thick compared to what I'm used to seeing. Cals Universal Reel & Star Drag Grease TAN Comes in a resealable 2 oz container. A coworker, who doesn't fish, found an Abu 5000 in his parents pond and let me have it and I gave him a few bucks for it.
