So with Newell out of the picture for the immediate future, what replacement parts are going to be needed first?
I just dropped some handle nuts off at Alans place, whats next?
I think bearing caps and the threaded inserts that go on the top of the reel....holds the top screws. Those inserts always strip. 5:1 gears and pinions are a hot ticket always.

got the handle nuts. the price is $8 with shipping included.
Great price. Don't need any now but I know where to get one if I do!
it's basically cost plus shipping.

What I did find is that the little captive female standoff is available from McMaster Carr. It comes with a 4-40 thread and Newell uses a 5-40 thread. I just had to get the right tap and basically chase the threads, worked perfectly. From what i found they are the same for most 200 and 300 series Newells. I now have a couple dozen extra but for $ 10.00 plus change, i can live with it.

I tried the same thing as TEAMFISH -- So far I am $25 in the hole for taps & have only 5 complete. I will be rdering more Taps tomorrow [ tapered & bottoming taps ].
Buy the correct drill for a 5-40 and you won't break as many taps.
A #39 drill should do the trick for you.
Good luck!
These are taped already for 4/40. I will give a try. I think McMaster said size 38 no mater I have both.
Hello All...What about the the U-5 MK (metal) l/s bearing cap that replaced the U-5 (plastic) l/s bearing caps.
