MXL drag washer

[Saltyrick]

Any recommendations as to where to get drag washers for a MXL? Or do i need to go to AVET directly?
I was doing cleaning the reel and found the drag washer to be a mess......and of course water got underneath the washer and the spool has started to pit a little bit. Was thinking of gently sanding it and coating with a bit of grease before re-assembling. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Avet is the only source I know of. They're pretty good about quick shipping and have very reasonable parts prices.

yup, call avet.  your drag washer is not glued in, is it?

Thanks for the feedback.....Thats kind of what I figured....will call them in the morning.

Alan - No, the drag washer is not glued......I am wondering if this may have led to the corrosion issue? Although, I have a much older MX that gets used much more often and it does NOT have any corrosion at all....

Alan - Just saw your "whats different" post....Yup, thats what my washer looks like.

Gonna take apart my LX tonight and see what the deal is.
