Hey guys, save my lazy self some research today and tell me if the ProGear 255 eccentric jack is a special part?
Turns out mine is bent up and a little fussy going in and out of gear. I tried flattening it with a plastic mallet but it still seems stubborn.
It doesn't look like the jigmaster eccentric so I was wondering if I could just swap the components? The original has the left leg of the jack cut at an angle across the bottom.
EDIT: Nevermind, I dug thru my stash and came up with a brass 11-200 and that seemed to work. I also changed to a steel main gear and pinion from a Penn JM. So even though I'm a bit disappointed that I had to swap to brass, I now have a steel drive gear set.
Anybody have a 11-200 in chrome or stainless?
I got a chromed one Ran, I could send it out on me, let me know.

Sorry Sal, already forgot about this little reel. It seems to be working ok.
Hey Ran, I was just wondering if the Jack got to you, I sent it a few days before you posted your last comment on here.
Maybe I sent it to the wrong address :-\
Thanks for that and the note Sal.
I was in hospital, just got out and home at nine o'clock last night. I was wiped so my daughter opened it and read it to me.

I wasn't sure I had the correct address, I'm glad it got over there. I'm also glad they kicked you out, always a good sign when they do.
By the way, I still have that mag stand you were looking for, say the word and it will be on its way... on me of course, I forgot to put it in the envelope.
That would be awesome Sal, but I'd be willing to pay for it.
OHMYGOSH! Sal, thanks for the seat. I had no idea you were talking about a brand new one. Rarer than hen's teeth.
I'll have to pull apart my shelfie 970 and make it even better.
I appreciate it. I can upgrade my user too.
Nice Ran, helping two reels in one, I like that. The 970 is one of my favorite.
Enjoy it!
Sal
