Alan , Alto hi and  Thanks  - for many years of great info and ideas .

I have made a number of adventurous excursions into Stella's , 2 speed conventional reels and others with the knowledge that you are around for back up  , and  assistance off your website .



Pls find pics attached – sorry I could not attach them to website – lost a few just tryin to save them – only just learnt how to attach to emails.



My history is predominantly freshwater baitcasters and spinning reels .



I live by the coast now - and the sea does call - all to often .



Pls assist me with the following – for my Penn senator 9/0 .  If possible an estimate of manufacture year/decade – pics attached – I would like to make up a mini year plaque to attach to the right side plate.



Drag washers and discs  ( I have the old 3 + 3 type ) I would like whatever you suggest .

Beleville for drag and handle/drag star – pls  note I have a thin belle at the handle and a THICK belle at the drag – both brass ?

Hard Felt washer for below the main gear and soft below the drag pressure plate .



Dog and 2 springs  - brass or stainless . I am going to try the double dog modification . I think the synchrinised double dog is more effective  - if one is going to break no point having them non synchronised – then again I like the reduced backlash from non synchronised  - think I will have to put 3 in (?) .



Does this reel have any option for  spool spindle bearings as opposed to bushes ?

Bigger handle options ? Not necessarily handle arm .



My main and eccentric gears look chrome/ssteel  but are magnetic ? I have inspected – all ok . Is this normal – many pics show brass/bronze gears ?

A few parts have  114 on them – was it normal to mix and match during assembly ?



Thanks alan – I hope most of this makes sense  - pls will you send me prices – I will send credit card details with confirmation .



To round off – I do not want to make a super winch out of this reel – I want it to be efficient and effective for its parts/frame – with a little bit of power when needed .

Regards , rich .
