I had it frozen even though I thought I had it cleaned and oil. Damaged the spindle, tried to repair it with a screw didn't work well. Heard later these reels get killed by saltwater. I have several cassettes for it and have been looking for years for a replacement, which hasn't been available. Stumbled across a NIB of a MR POP 2, wanted to double check as it was not returnable but guaranteed! I just wanted to double check before ordering it. Thanks Randall
