RH wind is the best for the click pawl drag. 1492DA. Bare, no line. Cleaned and lubed.

I'm RH and fish all my vintage reels RH wind. No big deal. He'll never have a fish on the reel, anyhow.
You can't reverse a 1492.

You sort of can. I need to find the post

It's fucking up an antique.
Use it as designed, or else.
I'll sell you a Martin tuna can if you want to go both ways. It can go either way.
But a Medalist. Blasphemy!

This looks like it will work for the conversion. I have an old 1494 1/2 I'd give you but it probably too heavy. Don't know? Let me know if you want it.

Not a full drag, but like Doug said it's not really needed

A shitty video of a shitty fix.  n!n
If you can jerk off with your right hand, you can wind a reel RH.  :;!

I agree, I wouldn't go through all that to change some POS reel. Especially when other kinds of reels I own spin and fly I reel left haded. BTW- I amphibious p;-  My bait casters are right handed and that doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
