Lets say a friend of mine fell on the rocks and slightly dented the rim of
his cartridge reel so its out of round a little bit. Now, when he palms
the
reel, instead of a smooth rub, he gets this pulsating because of the dent.
Its not enough to make the reel chirp, but its enough to be bothersome. Or
so he tells me. Are there any tricks for making the cartridge true again,
so
it has that nice silky feeling it used to?

Tell your "friend" "welcome to my world." I've found that when I try to
straighten something like this, unless I have a machine shop available
(which I only had when I worked on high explosives), that it will probably
not come out "true." Unless its really bad or you're "friend" has a lot of
dough, tell him to fix it as best as possible and think of it as a reel with
"character."
