Question for Dan, George, Dipsay, MattK and others that are in the know.
I had 4 of these reels brought in by a customer, that had been submerged for a period of time. All of them had the main gear corroded, due to the effect of anodic reaction by water on brass and aluminum. Replaced the gear pairs, and they are as good as new.
Of concern, however, is that another customer that has the same reel that has never been under water, experienced the same catastrophic failure of the main gear too.I was able to source a new main and pinion gear for him, and the reel is as it was meant to be.
As a landlocked country, we only use the reels in fresh water, so salt does not come into the equation.
My personal Calais 200DC has been in use for a number of years and shows no signs of any corrosion.Neither do any of the other dozens of these models I have worked on.
Have any of you seen this before ? Could there be an electrical interaction taking place from the dynamo powered digital circuitry ?
Thanks guys.
Terry.
