Pre-servicing a Shimano MLZ 10
Got me a new toy....
A brand new never been used Shimano MLZ 10. Made in Japan...
I believe this is a very old reel around 1980's but i can not find any other info aside from what's stated in the spool.
Prior to using the reel, i serviced it so i can be more secure if and when i caught something with it.
Here is the reel prior to servicing...
A nice little ultralight reel.
Spool knob, disk and the spool
Spool with line details.

Handle held by a single screw with the cap.
Inside of the reel prior to servicing. See the old grease turned gray.
All cleaned up and ready for re-assembly
That anti-reverse spring is a pain in the neck to return.

The single ball bearing in the reel, size is 14mm x 8mm x 7mm
Rotor attached, i forgot to take pictures when i disassembled the bail mechanism.
