Questions with a 118 (16/0) rebuild

[mizmo67]

Hey guys,

I have a ton of projects on my list for Penn corrections, changes and flat out goofs on their schematics.
Since someone actually took the time to email me about the differences, I just bumped this one up to the front of the list.

I've updated Penn's drawing a little bit and added notations to the schematics about older style dog spring and the old style of thicker drag washers, hoping to make things a little more clear.

Thanks, Sal

I need to start checking in here more often. Not enough hours in the day, lol

Thanks Mo. 

Good to see Scotts checking in once and a while to keep us on track.

Mo, you just made my day!  Thanks so much for bringing things back in perspective.

You'd be amazed at the stuff I found on the floor and under furniture while looking for that 'stooopid' little (now non-existent) bent-copper spring.  I was sure I'd seen it initially but managed to lose it and was never going to get the reel back together correctly.  Among the mundane, I found a tinted contact lens but I don't wear them and wife's are clear (I'm having a hard time explaining that, I might add), several fish-hooks (they sure stay sharp a long time), and a big dust-bunny that I swear started moving (so I called the dog over to sniff it and give the OK first).

Well, I'm just about ready for my big parts-order, wish me luck.

Oh, and I AM going to get several extras of the spring-type dog-springs for the other reels, just in case (HA!  Who am I kidding?  Of course, I'll need extras!).  I'm not too keen on tangling with that dust-bunny again.

Dogdad1: A good part for me is the humor (humour for you Antipodes) on this site.  You gave me a good laugh.  I had a picture in my mind of you rolling around on the floor with the dust bunny going for the throat.    Good stuff.  Dominick

Dust bunny?! Had to look that one up.
Something new everyday... 
Cheers for enriching my word-power, Justin
PS The best phrase I've picked up on Alan's site is still 'hydrodynamic wedge' though. 
PPS And no, Dominick, it's not wedgie - I looked that up, too.

How did we get from a 16/0 to a dust bunny and wedges

Only here on this site and only if we insert humor.

Stay focused guys, but not on the dust bunnies!

Welcome to the site mizmo67 your help is much appreciated.
The 118 Schematics still show the flat spring and two #14's although the coil spring (#14) is listed on the parts list.

The definition of "antiode" from greengonzo.com:

A region of maximum amplitude situated between adjacent nodes of a vibrating body, such as a string.

WHAT

You slay me, Dominick.

I meant Antipodes.  I'll go back and edit.  Dominick
