750SS questions

[Uncle Grizzly]

I imagine I'm in the right place to ask questions about a Penn 750 SS.  I just received this as a new in the box and it appears to be an unused reel.  It is stiff with 30+ years of old grease.  There was no manual in the box with the reel but there was a sealed plastic bag containing a tube of Penn Spinfisher lube and a spare pivot.  Is that pivot threaded to change the reel handle to the right side?  Next question: This reel has a chrome handle.  I have never seen any of the Z or SS series reels with anything other than a gold handle.  Is this correct for the reel? I will include pictures when I get my laptop fixed, it is not reading my phone right now

Thanks for reading, Uncle Grizzly in SE Michigan (AKA Buster)

They are great old-school spinning reels. Lucky-you, I had to buy the pivot separately for right-hand cranking on a 650. The 1000 series models that came next had a design that allowed switching from right-left hand without changing to a separate pivot.
Don't remember about handle color. I sold my 710Z, 650 and 750 series reels but still have 2-7500's with black handles.
Heavy, mostly metal reels, the best I own.
