I rebuilt ( cleaned really well ) 4 old zebco 33’s this past spring. I had a conversation with a old man and a younger guy at the boat landing and the young guy laughed at my old school gear so I told him it was good for 30# before I had to start playing with them and he boldly laughed again, that’s when the old man spoke and said he will catching fish with his gear long after the damn fish have swim off with the guts to that over priced girly shit you’ve got.
The old saw me give two twenty + # catfish to a family and was pointing and laughing at the young guy. I don’t know what kind of day they had but my refreshed reels worked great . I did find some parts on eBay but I don’t really need them yet.
