Hi Guys,
Need help on my old Pinancle Vision VS10 Round Reel.
I got this a few years ago (used).
This was my first ever Baitcasting reel that I took apart and learned the basic parts of Baitcasting reels.
I do annual maintenance on this reel but during my last cleaning I noticed it was feeling a little sluggish
(I guess its age is already showing). Done a re-clean and check each part with a magnifying glass, Bearing feels sluggish but no grinding, some wear on the plastic gears and drag looks like old bubble gum (well it looked that way when I first opened it). I have planned to do some major fixes like new bearings, Drags but the "organs" are the hard part.
Recently I saw a seller on our local "EBAY" that is selling an old calcutta 200/250 for a very dirt cheap price (I think its busted though).
I wondered if the Calcutta can be an organ donor for my Pinacle or vice versa if the calcutta is not that busted up.
One pictures and schematics of the 2 reels it looks almost Identical.
Is this possible ? Need help.
you could try, but honestly after struggling to revive a few of these gomers, you never want to see another one again. i'd pass.....
When you say Organs, if it doesnt mean Drags and Bearings, but gears etc.. I would be very Leary of trying to find a 'Look alike' reel for parts...
I agree with Alan, probably best off getting a newer reel that has parts available easier....
Or keep an eye on Ebay and other sites and try and find a Donor reel that is the same make & model..
Thanx guys.
Yeah that thought crossed my mind. Maybe its time to retire this old dog (he deserves it).
Now comes the fun part....Shopping ;D
