Just found a Bauer P6 automatic T5 in a cage together with old computers in the backyard of a school. Has been there for a while, so it did rain on it. Still took it and opened the covers at home. There is rust on surfaces, especially on the reel arms' side; but the mechanics seem to be OK as everything is turning freely when operated by hand. Will have it drying for a week; maybe moisture is trapped somewhere and after that plug it in. Maybe it is rescueable after all; if not you might find some spare parts with me ...
