Penn Reel problem

here's weird one.

I have a Penn 850 I bought on eBay last year. Just got back in the surf and used it Friday night, or tried to. The drag will not tighten down no matter what I do.

Took out all the drag washers, cleaned them and printed out the schematic from online to make sure they were in the correct order Hex, teflon, keyed, black fiber etc.

Fished with my old surf partner "The Rockhound" last night and asked him as he is good with reels. He said he doesn't have a clue and would have done what I did.

Figured I'd ask you guys before I pack it up and send it to Mike at Buckos.

Any thoughts???

No boat, back in the suds.
