Hello all,
26 days ago i posted a question if it was worth my time and effort to restore a Shimano Curado DC HG.
This weekend i finally had time to get to it and give it a good clean.
it took me a lot of effort and a lot of cotton ball sticks to get it done but the result is epic.
It is in fully working order now, the DC part still works, no thumbing needed when casting.
I had a mate of me fish with it for a day that uses a Shimano SLX DC as a daily driver and he said it was in better running condition than his own. I did not expect that at all.
is it now perfect&Pristine? no not at all, there are some spots the paint of the body was starting to bubble up and there was one roller that i could not remove but did a deep clean on it. the rest of the ball bearings were in perfect condition.
I have added some before, during and after pictures
