Should I buy a project Parker ?

[B. Dudley]

Parkers are complex, with a lot of parts. As compared to, for example, a Fox. And not nearly as complicated as an NID. Those things have more parts that a Parker!

But... Each one has its own "things" about them that make them tricky to work on. One thing is for sure, when you get inside a Parker, you appreciate the close tolerances and delicate machining work.

Takes some time to learn how things work, took me a month with a beater S&W double action revolver, figured it out with a good book and a few tips from friends, had to make a tool etc. Glad I did it don't plan to do another.

Been overhauling Penn Reels for years, my own, friends, and to help out the local tackle shop when they are overloaded with repairs. Small tricks make the job easy. Learned pre internet before we had the great resources like Brian's photos. Penn's down pat, give me a Abu more likely to mess it up than fix it.

Looking forward to the VH
