I have a few reels that need some attention. I was hoping you might be able to work on a few for me. A couple of the reels are obsolete models, but I figured if anybody could get them rolling, you could.  Here is the laundry list for maintenance:

Shimano TTS 50W
Shimano TLD 5
Shimano TLD 30 2 speed
Shimano TBM 30/50 2 speed I think this one was a proto type, given to the owner of a yacht I used to run, and then given to me.
Shimano TLD 20 2 speed
Shimano Tiagra 50
Shimano TLD 20

Here is a reel that had the drag turn to goo:

Shimano TBM 50/80 2 speed

I removed most of the goo, but nobody seems to be able to help me get this thing back in shape.  Let me know if you can help. I was gonna make a trip up to the bay area around Feb, so I could drop them off.

i can service all of them except the 50/80. that one needs to go to glen pamaran at reel connection, (619) 429-0997.  he is the only one that has a replacement drag pressure plate for that reel.  glen could also service all of your reels as well. i hear he does an excellent job. it's just that i've got all of the kolekar aftermarket handles. either way is fine. thanks! alan

glen's new phone number is 619-370-8670 and his e-mail address is reelconnection@cox.net.  he is only accepting reels that are shipped to him and will not send out parts.

Alan,

I'm in desperate need of a part for my BeastMaster 50/80.
I bought these reels recently and was told that they had been recently serviced and that the drag update had been done. As it turns out the reels had been recently serviced and the drag had been updated, however the technician that did the repair neglected to put the seal back in that goes around the pressure plate. This seal is not shown on the Shimano schematic but is part of the pressure plate part # TT 0123B.
I've  tried  emailing all Shimano service centers looking for this seal with no luck, Glen is looking for me also with no luck so far. I'd be happy with a used one if I could find one. I actually need 3 of these seals. If you have any 50/80's that are parts reels I'd be interested in buying the aforementioned part.

Thanks
