Old Vintage Johnson Century 100 - A Fishing Reel

Johnson Century 100-A fishing reel.(Manufacture date, 1956 only)I disassembled the reel, cleaned, then applied oil and grease as specified in the Johnson schematic for this reel, using Penn reel oil and grease.  I reassembled the reel and installed fresh 6 lb. clear blue fluorescent fishing line.  All functions work properly.  I would suggest you inspect the oiling and grease for yourself and apply per your own preference.I checked the drag in basic terms.  You shou...ld set it for your own fishing conditions and preferences.This model can be set up for either right hand or left-hand retrieve.The clicker side plate button and wire are intact.  On many of these reels that wire is broken or the wire and button are missing.The front cover has some battles scars.  The reel overall is in good shape for its age.  Please review all of the pictures, as they are the best indication of the reel’s cosmetic condition.  Any cosmetic defects do not interfere with the operation of the reel.I tried to make sure all views of the reel are represented.  If you would like additional pictures or have questions, please feel free to ask prior to bidding, as the sale is final. TERMS: All items are sold as is and as described. All questions, concerns, etc. must be resolved before the auction ends.
