Mitchell Garcia 1040 big game reels?

Hi,

Someone gave me these two reels - they seem fairly old but rock solid.

Anyone know much about them?

The Mitchell says “made in France” and the other one is made in Italy.

Are they still good to fish today if I have them serviced? Seem just about the right size for small tuna … a bit overkill for yellowtail I would say.

Cheers
