Accurate hasn't made these for many years.

Yep your sole source is late after market sales, ebay, vintage Offshore, craigslist.
I bought what was advertised as a 113 full accurate conversion off craigslist.
got it today, Imagine my disappointment when I found out it is a jigmaster not a 4/0.
It is 8-9 out of 10 as far as condition, and its black, real pretty so I think I still got a pretty good deal on it, and I cant blame the seller for the confusion because it does have 4/0 internals so I can see how he was confused, its not a 113 with a full accurate conversion but a 500 that has been converted with 113 gears, bridge, sleeve.
So I guess I will keep it.

its got some dings and scars the biggest from the clutch lever slamming into the frame without protection and all the accurate badging is worn off, this one will get upgraded and fished.  I have a clean one that I will be upgrading and should be plynth worthy.
I will post pics of that one as I go through it.
These reels are beasts in stock form just imagine after all the available upgrades are added, adams insert, BP DD bridge and 10 tooth sleeve, Adams counterbalanced handle and star.  They can become monsters of the deep.

That's the same reel Al (da big ono) started this thread with. You definately scored David.

I'm doing same upgrades to mine and am looking forward to putting it to work.

[DaBigOno]

Very nice score David!

Glad you're planning on fishing it.  I see on your pics that you add some o-rings on the eccentric lever to help protect the side plate.

I fished my Magnum last season, but didn't hook anything worthy to really test it.

Please post some pics of your other Magnum too

I'll follow up with a pic of the mint squidder magnum I just got, but not till we see Davids magnum...

Definitely looking forward to seeing a new thread started Ted
