65 Long Beach

Thanks,
I ran into the same thing working on older 49's, you think this could be another dating tell for Penn? Was the move to the heavier post across the lineup all at once?  Looks like a 3-66 is on my Mystic list.

Doing a little more homework, as Rudy taught me, I see the narrow post sleeve 98-60 is available for the older 3-60 bridge for 1/3 the cost of a new replacement 3-66 bridge. All of the failures I've had so far with the 3-60 had been the rounding of the sleeve tip, never the smaller diameter post getting bent out of position.
