Mitchell restore

Over the summer Don picked up a Mitchell 300 half bail for me at a very good price. I only bought it because I didn't have one, and it was in very good shape. Now I have a son and daughter,and only my daughter fishes, I have 2 grandsons that I feel will not be fishermen. My daughter is expecting my 3rd grandson, my daughter knows she's going to inherit ALL my gear and hobby stuff. So I'm banking on Zain being the one to follow in my foot steps.
While I will save Mitchell reels, repair and paint I can't do a total restore to orginal.
Don and I have a mutual friend that does, so I had him do this reel. By the way Christian work on many many rods and reels. You can see his work on Facebook Pop's tackle box.
