Not sure what you are describing as the knob decal —-

Is this what you need for the logo sideplate badge?

If you are in he US, figure $5 & free shipping in an envelope.

Do you mean the gold anodized spools vs, the black spools?

If that is the case, just different trim over the years.

Maybe a photo or two?

I acquired two PENN 705s (left-handed, handle on right side of reel).  They were restored very nicely, but the line rollers did not spin freely, if at all, due to pitting of the bail arm beneath the roller.  I thought of trying to grind or sand the surface smooth but thought that would damage the plating.  So, I ordered two roller washers (part 132-750, I believe) from Mystic Reel Parts.  After this installation, the rollers spin perfectly!  The threaded shaft that holds the roller is now a little short, so I applied blue thread lock on the threads to prevent the nut falling off.  This disadvantage could possibly be corrected by grinding the surface of the bail arm down a bit.  I imagine others have dealt with the roller spinning issue with these reels already, but I thought I'd share the info in case it is of use.

Thanks for this TW —-

Did you also replace the roller sleeve under the line roller?

Part # 35A.

Or did your reels not have this part?

Really tough and capable reels.

Reels arrived with roller sleeves in very good condition. The handles showed some wear, and the new metallic paint seemed to lack primer and scratches off too easily.  The line rollers just didn't roll.  Thanks for your reply.

Cool!
Twagon, nice work indeed. I wish all the bail parts(except the sleeves) were made of stainless steel on these great old Spinfishers.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
