on the other side, if the parts are also knock-off of the original, that could be a good thing since the newell replacement parts were becoming hard find every year, surely not the same quality but at least that might bring some Newell reels back to life

Couldn't see an origin country. I like the company name and the innuendo logo.

Hey guys, there is little to no parts compatibility between EMT and Newell....maybe some gear stem washers and crank handles?? Everything else is slightly different but very close. Also no compatibility with Tiburon frames/spools either.
