Info. on Meek #54 reel wanted...

[kevinhaney1]

I picked up a nice Meek #54 fly reel and was wondering what would be a fair value for it? It has about 95% of its finish and is still usable. The issues are that it has a fair amount of spool wobble (I don't guess there's anything that can be done about this?) and one of the clickers is missing, although it looks like it used the kind that can be inserted if I could find one.

The wobble is common and can easily be repaired with a new bushing. It looks to have a very high level of leading, so even with the wobble, I’d value it at $200
