No, none of my Lamson's have this issue.
Always used their tube of reel x. It's going to the Bauer shop. Not to worried about it. Just thought I ask and see if any one had experienced and if so what they did. I'm not sure of the star wheel mechanism but something is sticking or broken.
No they have other issues!No, none of my Lamson's have this issue.
It depends which reel you have. Some models are being serviced in Twin Bridges and others in Ashland. I believe your reel should be Ashland bound.
True...it will be going to Ashland tomorrow
Any update since you sent it in, or is it too soon to be asking?
It is in Ashland. I called last Friday just to touch base, even though I filled out the form I wanted to double check they had it (verify my USPS delivery) and make sure no unanswered questions. They had it for two days but had not opened the box. Talked to the guy for a few minutes as he checked and opened the box. Nice guy had a couple good stories. One being always use reel x or synthetic lube. They use to include/recommend neatsfoot oil, but finding out that neatsfoot oil and other animal fat type oils go rancid after time, owners who have used neatsfoot oil longterm have suffered from build up/sludge and have caused issues with some of the older Bauer reels. On to my reel, said the release spring was probably broken, he played with it and said ...Yep, stuck in the down position.... Wasn't sure if it was fixable or not, would replace star wheel if needed. Went ahead and asked him to give it a go through since it was there. I put a 3/9/17 request for return date, said should be no problem.
