I got a free vintage Quantum reel thrown in with the eBay purchase of another reel and the free one is almost as old and is in similar condition to the one in this video. I have this video saved in my Watch Later list, so that I could restore the old Quantum. After watching this video, I realized I do not own the $3000+ in tools and equipment used in this video, nor do I have 30 spare hours available, to turn a two dollar reel into one that is about half as good as one I can buy off Amazon for $18 new (a 4000-sized Quantum Optic is $17.64 and is decent quality). I just threw my old Quantum in the garbage.
$100 repair work for a $20 reel 🤣 Amazing work either way! I’ve wanted to do this to so many reels but realized the value isn’t worth the effort and supplies.
Yaas! My poop B&D snapped right there and I had managed to velcro it together and it was usable on small things. I was thinking of using acrylic and/or some type of fabric and rivets. @Everyone - anyone know if this would be a viable solution as well? I'm about to just melt the casing together and duct tape the sumba so I dont have to tote my hammer drill around.
have u ever test that with multimeter? its labeled 18v because thats what normal battery voltage, but if the battery at 100% it will read 21/20v. between 60% to 80% it will read 18v
I have done restorations for years . the ones I get are ones from people who come to me can you restore this it is the one I got when my dad took me fishing or its my dads reel and means alot to me. Thatis what I like about doing them. the jpy you see when they pick them up worth more then the money. Why do we restore cars .? I have even bought and restored and given then away to young kids who had no one to teach them how to fish. Try it sometime a lot of fun, Great video
Сначала купил китайскую копию 173, а как попробовал покрутить саморезы то, сразу заказал оригинал 172. Для евробит сделал проставку в патрон, длинна 9.4 мм, но в патроне есть ямка на дне, глубиной 3,5 мм и под диаметр 4,5 мм, с полусферическим дном под носик двухсторонней биты. Проставку сделал из старой биты для импакта, та часть биты что в верху имеет 4 мм, а та часть что к низу так же 4 мм по длине и сточил под диаметр 4,5 мм, на конце, как упор полусфера, а между этими двумя сторонами, верх и низ просто конический переход, какой выйдет. Именно с проставкой с такими размерами можно нормально пользоваться европейскими битами и механизм автомат у патрона работает, Проставка легко из патрона извлекается, только не забывайте обточить фаску на срезе, а то так проставку там просто расклинит в патроне и она там застрянет.
