First off i sure do miss Western Auto stores, nice find two bucks i always seek out fishing reels especially spincast reels at antique store,flea markets.the older USA reels have the nice engraving as opposed to decals. The casting of the button was intriguing i want to try that. In the end both reels are very cool, ive seen the Clipper on ebay before but not the Revelation. Great video.

Thank you. It's tons of fun to bring the old stuff back to life.
Excellent job!
Thank you, sir!
You're welcome. I enjoy all your videos.@@tonys.5940
Thanks for showing how to make that new thumb button. I can use that knowledge for making replacement crank knobs.
My pleasure, Dan. I put the links to the materials on that True Temper 420 video description (Alumilite Products)
I remember that reel and Western Auto in the 1960's in Minnesota!

That's awesome!
That surely reminds me of the Johnson Century. Compac copied a lot of the design elements from the Century.
I thought the same thing. Same versatility, too.
