I want to thank Ray the maddog for some insight he gave me regarding Van Staal and the differences, history, etc.
The VS 150 reel that I have does have the hex sideplate so it can be serviced at home if you know how to do it. The reel is a gold model that was made in the US before Van Staal went Van Zebco.
-#14 mono is still on the spool.
-The good news is that it was literally used 2 times (caught a few school size blues actually). You could not even see any lines or discoloration where the reel feet attached to the rod seat.
-The bad news is that there is a scratch on the rotor cup where it scraped the concrete. It is purely cosmetic and the rotor is not bent, etc. I called Van Stall and they said the cost of a new gold rotor would be $48 if someone would like to make this reel mint.
I will try to take some pictures of it tomorrow or Fri and post them.
Thanks...
