I think Alan was right about the spool sleeve being too long.  Since I switched the bellevilles, it spins fine, but tilt it to the right and it makes contact and stops.  I am going to leave it for now.  The stripped handle lock screw may have an explanation.  It had the wrong screw in it, a 110-60, which has a square cut shoulder.  The correct 110-50 has a tapered shoulder, and screwed in fine.   The drag, after greasing with Cal's is great.  Very smooth, and set at 28 lbs at strike, which gave me 49-50 lbs at full while having better freespool than without the sleeve.  Alan's 30 SW tutorial was a huge help when I started with this reel.  Thanks again Alan,
keep up the good work.
