What are you working on?

Fred, if you find a 6500 CT cage I would gladly pay to take it off your hands.

Just picked up these side plates so I guess I will have to start sourcing the rest of the parts to make another 6500C3CT

nice. The drag star I used would feel right at home on that.

I knew what that drag star was from, but wasn't able to post anything! There's another set on eBay right now for 90 bucks lol!
Been hunting for blue plates forever, and just refuse to pay that, or anywhere near it!

Too much at the moment.  Half a dozen Daiwa 17LCs and 4 27LCs, 9 Shimano Curados, 4 Shimano Stradics, 9 Okuma Convectors, 2 ABU 5000s, 1 ABU 5600C, 2 Penn 330GTis, and a Penn Warfare.  38 reels in for service at the moment with more coming down the pipe.

2 of these blanks and fuji hardware just got dropped off to build a pair of matching 40# rods for a coworker.

Said they wanted all black everything no decor work. So knock on wood this should be a simple build

Beautiful, Tom —-

We could also use some for the 716 & 714 in white and black.

These will also cover the 420SS, 430SS, 716Z, & 714Z.

Knocking out the backlog of reels to be built, repaired, serviced, sending out parts.

Couple of restored reels went up North to Bryan today.

Got 8 crates of DQ parts from a closed out shop.  About 15,000 to 17,000 parts here.  Most are in part numbered bags (80%).

But I need to take 2-3 days to get them into their proper storage bins, add more numbered bins, etc.

Changed out the CV axles on the Tacoma 4WD, will drop the rear 2-piece driveline in a day or two to install a new center support bearing assembly and (4) new u-joints.

Dealing with insurance quotes.  Finally done today, after 2 months.

Anyone need a brand new, restored old Mitchell CAP 305 (crank on right side for lefties).  $35.  Full restore with 95% parts new.

How about a nearly new Ambassadeur frame cage assembly with one side plate for $10?

It is like a new dawn —- having the website back up and running so well.

Thanks to everyone who was patient, helped, and knew what to do.

Best, Fred

Yep definitely nice to be back!
Definitely threw a wrench in the works on a couple things I was working on!
Was working on the Daiwa 3M that I got from you, while the site was down.
I absolutely was laughing my head off, when I got it apart, and saw what the problem was.
Is that the CAT scan technician in the tree?
They need to stop playing around, and pay better attention, maybe too many tree-ts lol.
After a thorough cleaning and a little burnishing, operates just like a new reek again. Here's a couple pics of the problem.
Seems it had, a little too much lead in its diet lol.

I will second all of what Fred just said!

On the other note I've been up to absolutely nothing enjoyable. Heeling ribs and trying to final out my mom's estate, which isn't a whole lot of fun.
