What is wrong with it?
Is it the 2b model?
Pretty basic reel so u can probably fix it yourself... I would actually advise it because policansky reels tend to need maintenance quite often, especialy if you're a surf fisherman. I've got one and problem no 1 is the cork washer system...dont get it wet!

hi its best to strip the reel and call Maxwells engineering in airport industry i could not get certain parts last time i needed to service a few often the 2B -2BS +4B and 4BS they
dont make certain spares any longer so my advice if you want to keep the reel is to buy up old one for spares later

It's more than likely the bush on the main gear shaft, you need to oil it every few months otherwise it gets dry and seizes up, the original design was a piece of felt stuck inside the hollow shaft which you soak in oil and this drip feeds the shaft through a hole....I just oil the actual shaft every so often (man this just is not sounding right).
another tip is to soak the dragwasher overnight in light machine oil, dry off all excess and re-fit, this should keep the drag smooth and stop the cork washer from drying out and breaking up.

Just had to share these old bullets!
These guys must be close to 20yrs old now and still going strong! I used to fish these two with my Butterworth rods and they have caught many Kob and Steenies from False Bay! They have ground away many cork drag washers while playing with Bronzies of Strand Beachs and the Gordons Bay Harbour wall!
I have not fished with them for years, but I'm going to give them a whirl very soon.
