I KNOW I am prob stretching it here but...

Afraid not. You can get a new black (sticker-less) rotor cup from Mystic, but that's it:

Again THank You for finding stuff .For some Reason I don't seem to navigate Mystic very well . I dunno maybe it ain't set up for Left handed People.....
I thought the Rotor had a piece missing out of it but apparently is designed that way with the  Small u shape missing out of it

Like I said the Reel other than the beat up look  it is Dang near perfect ,just needs a thorough cleaning .

I could make some stickers but it doesn't make the Reel work any better.

I have plenty of Reels to  redo but this one caught my eye when I got  it in with a (114H) so probably will strip it down and repaint it or maybe polish it out .
The 114H just needed a Free Spool Lever and some missing side plate screws and after Cleaning it all up  is in better shape than any of my others I bought to mod.
I have @ 65 bucks in both Reels including Shipping so  I am a Happy Camper. ;D

Just shows to go even an old Blind Squirrel Finds an Acorn or two now and then.

Sounds like you're all set, Mr. Cat. We'd very much like to see a photo when the reel is all done!   ;)

You know, drilling, modifying and painting old spin fishers is a sort of a thing.  If you do a decent job they can fetch a price that makes it worth your while.

??? I think "worth your while" has to be a subjective term.  :D I find it difficult to imagine what drilling, modifying, painting, etc., I could do to a spinning reel in a 4 hour period that could get me $200+ over the cost of the reel & materials, shipping, etc. I only have a tendency to work on my own & family's reels for less than min. wage.  ;D     
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

This is kinda of a Dilema dating my Reel as it does weigh more than 21 oz. and is all Metal except for the drag Knob, Has an all Black Rotor,with the Penn made in U.S.A. Double Chrome stripe sticker on Rotor and missing Emblem on the Side Plate .
From everything posted it seems to be a 704Z as shown with Manf. Dates below from MYSTIC . I would think one with all metal and all Black body and Spool would be an Early and the ones with plastic side plate and Gold Blingy Spool the newer . I dunno.
Thanks for all the Response .

i think (not sure) that penn started using the flat paddle handles in the mid 80's, mo at mystic can most likely tell you.
