There's an eBay seller in France who has a ton of parts if that makes shipping cheaper

Mystic sells a replacement clicker button and paddle which appears to fit all 114 reels. No peening, held together with a circlip.

Dear Keta,

im exploring a few options for Mystic parts and the one French seller shown above, though im thinking Mystic is the best option as they have all in stock.

 I know someone who will travel to USA late October so thats maybe an option
But I would definitely keep your kind offer at top of the list- also for the sideplate-  Monday i will try to repeen the clicker and let you know if its successful! 

Watch this space and I will keep everyone updated  soon

Best wishes

Robert.

I received an email from mystic parts,  they stopped overseas orders many years ago but they were extremely helpful with suggesting a drop shipper as an alternative.     If anyone from mystic is here you have my deepest thanks.

Im exploring a few more options then will come back to everyone who offered help.   :)

You might try a seller named fishgrain on ebay. I believe he's a forum member also maybe he ships over seas, if not he's a Penn Senator fan, extremely knowledgeable on them. I don't know much about buying/selling/shipping outside the USA but I have on occassion sent camera eauipment outside the USA for repair always through a Contax or Zeiss distributor. So my question is rather than buy a lot of parts and have them sent to you individually from different sources could it be more economical for you to ship the reel here for repair.

I don't know if Randy, Vintage Offshore Tackle, has any of the parts or answers to your questions. Another who's very knowledgeable about Penn Senators.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.
