Bearing housing, Accurate Jigmaster plates

[Snagged2]

Howdy,,
I recently acquired some Accurate sideplates that fit Jigmasters..
The stock Penn bearing cups, don't work well, it appears with the Accurate plates..(clicker side needed)

Looks like I need the Accurate proprietary bearing cup-housing,etc.?

Anyone have some of these items in their pocket?? 

Know of a source to purchase them?  I didn't see anything on the Accurate website about these older products.

or, is this something the local machinist needs to learn about?
Thanks,,
Greg

That might be a challenge. Try www.reelygone.com  .

Thanks for the link.  I've been working south of Windy Bay out of Charleston for http://www.offshoreadventurescharter.com/, next time I take the long way home I'll have to stop by.

Just don't take too long of a way home, Keta. Wives get suspicious when it's time to get home

Well, if anybody finds a source for these,, be interesting to see where they may come from!!

Years ago, I found out that those bearing cups are unique to Accurate's AccuPlates but only after I purchased a set of sideplates for my Jigmaster.  If you get lucky and find some old-stock bearing cups, remember that there are right and left-side cups.  The right-side bearing cup is stamped with an "R" and the left-side is left blank.  The left-side bearing cup has a pin inside that the right-side cup lacks.  This metal pin is the make up for too short left-side spool axial on the Penn 500 Jigmaster spool.  The original jigmaster reel came with bushings.

This spool issue is famiilar to those that purchased Newell's 300-C sideplates 30 years ago.  Newell included those orange plastic spacers with the kit to stick onto the jigmaster's left-side spool axial because his bearing cups were interchangeable.

Good luck in your search and keep us posted if you find a source.

yup, that was tom ........

Very nice of you Tom, by the way do you have any more? I will pay you for them. Please let me know. Sal

Hi Sal,
Yes, I do have a few more, but these are actually for my Jigmaster frame project, similar to the Squidder kits I make.
If someone out there has a set of the Accurate Jigmaster bearing cups, I would like to have a look at them!
I should have some shop time in December, and could knock out a bunch of these.
Let me know if there is an interest.
Tom

[Alto Mare]

Tom, I'm definitely interested. I think that the Jigmaster is the same as the 113H, could you also do some for the 114H?

Come on guys , lets get Tom to make us a bunch...can't find these anywhere.

I'm hoping that it will work out. Thanks Tom. Sal

I'll make whatever there is a need for.
I'm trying to come up with design that does not need the bearing to be crimped in. The cups will last a lifetime, only the bearings need to be replaced.

Now keep in mind, I do this on the side. Ask Alan how long it takes sometimes to get parts from me!

personally, i would go for a slip fit and not worry about the bearing falling out.  i would avoid a pressed fit, i would avoid peening, and i would avoid retaining rings.  keep it simple.

Good idea Alan!

Tom, that sounds good.
Here is a shot of cup that you could adjust with your fingers, Just in case you where interested in making something like it. Either one would help though.
Thanks.  Sal
