Just ordered a setup from Jvariance, asked about a second dog- he said he is going to mill in the slot in his next run.
He had no complete sets left so I am getting black spool and frame with gold plates. GOing with black power-handle too. I'll post some before and after pics of this old timer as soon as i get it done. I think I need to buy a stainless thingy-thingy dealer too from ALan- this handle has a bunch of play, not sure where it is coming from but the whole reel is a mess.
the handle play could be from several things.
There's gear or anti-reverse backlash or play and there are issues with the gear sleeve either being rounded where it attaches to the handle arm or on the bridge plate post. And it could all of those. ;)
Good luck in the finding adn I'm sure we can help.
Wonder how long til he does another run, I'd like to see a couple other colors too.
Sounds like pretty soon for next run. Guy sounds nice as heck. I'll post some pics of my funky gold/black/gold 113h when I get it together.
