I talked to Dan @ VS, a couple of weeks ago, he said that at this time of the year he'll have as many as 250-300 reels on the bench for service for the next few months. That's a lot for any shop to handle. VS is still very close to a mom and pop buisness, so you need to have patients.
HAve patients or learn to strip them down. Casting Zee's can strip a 150 and put it back together with new bearings and seals and lube in less than an hour. Its not that hard . If I watched him 2 more times I bet I can do it myself and I cant even hook up the surround sound.
I would rather send them in I don't need them until middle of may any ways so I am in no rush to get them back. I think I like the idea of someone that does it for a living to repair it, like hiring and electrician or a plumber, they have the parts and no what needs to be done. PLus opening it your self voids warrantee I do all my penns though.
