He is going to bring them by. We will see what we can do . He is a neighbor it turns out

After reaching out to the manufacturer as well as other reel repair guys, only to be told that they could not fix them and would not even bother looking at them, @Hardy Guy reached out and said he would like to take a look. He fixed the reels for me. Both are good as new, and the charge was very reasonable.
I will definitely be using @Hardy Guy again in the future.

Thanks. Happy to fix, I enjoy a challenge. It's a hobby for me not a business. If folks need reels done shoot me a PM.

Yeah Martin said he had too much of a back log. I got it back in time for May which was all that mattered

@Derby & @Aces, think you guys are both right. When I contacted Martin early this year regarding an avet, he said if it's a bearing issue then he will most likely have to send it into avet. After giving him the serial number of that specific reel. As they have changed sizes over the years multiple times. Even on the same models. I would assume it depends on availability on bearings when they manufacture runs of reels. I ended up repairing it myself. Turned out bearings were fine and just needed to be gone through.

I do lots of avets and have most of the different bearing sizes required ..... unless it's a really weird one.
