If this is indeed the case, this would be my main concern...
As for "fixing it yourself"...sure you can pump some lube in it but I have reels I thought were fine and worked well, when I send them back, lots of parts got replaced (at no or little charge to me) that I would have not considered replacing. In some cases entire reels were replaced with new. Also, these new bearings are pretty high tech. Each has a version number. When you send the reel in for service they replace the bearings with the current state of the are version (again , no or little charge). (these are not cheap to buy off the shelf either) So I think it really pays to have someone who really knows what he is doing and knows where the key wear points and typical trouble spots are. This is why service is so important to me. I don't want to become a reel mechanic and I don't want to stock lots of parts....I have enough problems with plugs and jigs as it stands.
