Reel Repair

[Sako76]

Guys, I have a Penn Saltwater feel that I got from my father that turns real hard and slow.  Does anyone do reel repair locally (Warren County) anymore or do I need to send it in to Penn.  y!

They do it good but turnaround especially now isn’t gonna be quick. 
Reel may just need a good cleaning as the grease may have dried out and is sticky?

Remember Reeds and there catalog across the highway?, the two brothers parted ways closed up one move to Pennsylvania with most of the stuff. Had a buddy who tied flies for competition found out where the place was we went there because they had plumage/feathers that could no longer be shipped to USA

I bought bags of lots a wires beads and CP or Swiss swing blades
