Those old reels are great,but I think you would be happier with putting your money towards a newer reel.The old reels,the level wind does not disengauge when you cast,the new ones do.Just one speck of grit in the level wind can give you a backlash from hell that you may need a pocket knife to get out.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
