    Reel repair

    Who is the best in Oklahoma at cleaning and repairing reels? Dad has a Ambassador that is roughly 42 years old he wants cleaned and maybe bearings added instead of the bushing they used back then.

    Seems to me Lucky Lure in Oklahoma City had a reel mechanic. I’ve never had any work done but I think I read on here good things. We have to do a search to find the post I seen but it’s a option I think.

    if you go here and click on the rod and reel repair tab they have a name of an individual. I think he’s a member here. Michael Stranz, Hope this is helpful.

    Ambassadeurs that old have a lifetime warranty ( wink, wink). Try this https://www.southwesternparts.com/. It was about 32.50 plus shipping to go thru all my ancient ambassadeurs in 2013.

    Good to know. I have two that are 45 plus years old from Dad.
    Still good reels!

    Thanks for the shout out. It is $25 a reel to tear them down to frame and service them. I do hundreds of old Ambassadors a year. I serviced all makes and models. I pick them up and drop them off at Lucky Lure Tackle in Oklahoma City.
