That is nifty reel and sounds like it will be again. Another tip is that sometimes things are not as they appear. With a minor scuff on rotation, identify the spot, but then be sure to identify the cause of the scuff. Sometimes, depending on construction, the spindle, although not bent, has drifted or angled in position very slightly and just needs to be reset. Even more likely, rather than the frame being bent, the spool rim has been slightly bent, often at the handle position (which likely took the impact), and just needs a tiny tweak to eliminate the scuff. I had one basket case reel given to me where it was easier, in spite of a barely visible frame bend, to bend the spool uniformly such that the scuff was eliminated. Of course you wouldn't be happy with that last ditch method on a higher grade reel like yours.

Here is my experience with dingabilty and straightenability respectively. Pillar and plate construction: alloys and thickness vary, but generally the most easily bent rather than chipped or fractured, and most easily straightened with mild pressure, especially since dissassembly enables you to isolate and position the damaged part for repair. Cast construction: may chip or fracture but can bend slightly; requires more gentle application of pressure and has a more limited range for straightening, or is at risk of being fractured. Thus the easy-does-it bulldog suggestions above. Machined construction: takes a harder whack and likely to chip or fracture rather than bend; requires great care to straighten even the tiniest bends. If the reel is a junker, experiment or scrap it, but a high quality reel might best go to a repair shop equipped with the right jigs and tools. Sounds like yours will come out fine with care in your home workshop, unless you are limited to a State of Maine tool kit:
