What was the cause of the old Penn inty II pulsing drag syndrome? I've had a couple now that have had the drag washers changed out, the discs machined and lapped smooth, and side thrust pressure reset but it didn't fix the pulsing which only occured at low drag settings.  All other drag settings were fine, with little or no drag 'stick' resistance to overcome and smooth performance all the way to sunset.  It was just the 'pulsing' at low drag settings that annoyed me as no one could tell me what caused it or how to get rid of it. 
 
Fixed it by getting rid of the inter II's in the end...

Hi Busted
Sorry to hear you still had issues after having the drag machined and new fibres fitted, the only reason for the pulsing would be slight irregularitires between the friction washer and the metal drag plate, it is sometimes required to lap in even a new fibre washer to smooth out any imperfections, also imperative to have the metal plate polished after machining, I have now Blueprinted hundreds of the old Penn 50s, 80s & 30s and not had one that I could not perfect the drag, so please let the buyer of your old reels know I can fix the issue he now has.
Cheers Steve
