I got this old Abu Garcia Cardinal 752 at a yard sale a loooooong time ago.
Was going through a box of "stuff" the other day and found it, and thought I'd put it up on eBay.
Well, it was encrusted with gunk and squalled when it was cranked, so I figured I'd clean it up a little.

After I cleaned it up, I got my pen oiler out, and in just a little while the old reel was working almost like new.

So now, I'm thinking I'll string it up and hang it on a rod and give it a workout this Spring.
