I resurected a 401 a few years ago. Removed the entire bail assembly and fabricated the 704 manual roller to mount on the Remur. Drilled the rotor cup and spool, sand blasted the case , recoated and packed the gear case. Nice feel and solid. cast pretty good w/braid. Fished it a few times. Nice slow retreive for eels and skin swimmers. The only negative is the drag. Only a metalwasher no fiber. Lost a large that I couldn't stop and cupped the spool to add more pressure. Too late, took too much line and found freedom. Retired it w/a VS250. It's now my back up if needed. All in all, light weight and compact.
