I'm sitting on another run of the Dom/Tom 9/0 frames. Sales fell off at the end on the last run, so I stopped production on this second run. Where do we stand now? Can I get a show of hands on who would be interested, and what color-Silver or Black. They will be a little cheaper this time around, but I don't have a firm number yet.
Thanks
Alright Guys! Here is your chance if you missed out on the first run.
My Hand is up Tom for at least two Silver.
I will commit to 2 frames -- silver, if possible.
Maybe more if there are any extras left over.
Thanks for making these available.
Best,
Fred
I will commit to a Silver frame!!
It would be interesting to know a price estimate.
If the price is right, I would like a black one.
I'm take one. Can you make them in gold?
I don't even own a 9/0 and I think I want one...
Cool
I'll take a silver one and I don't own a 9/0 yet
We all need to support this undertaking being made available to us --
Trond -- the previous price was $115 US -- which was a bargain. Are you going to manufacture these also, for your European Market -- along with your other CAD Program products?
Even if any of you do not have a 9/0 -- if you can afford to get a frame or two, you might consider doing so now. A used 9/0 will run between $45 to $120 -- and with this frame -- will be very impressive both for numbers and applications -- with just a few other tweaks such as a drag stack upgrade, etc.
And if you do nothing else, you can resell the completed reel -- or put it on display.
Anyone serious about Penns should have at least one. The quality, workmanship, finish, and functionality -- are all first class -- and perfectly done.
Just my opinions.
Best,
Fred

I bought a old stock NIB 9/0 reel for $65.- a couple of weeks ago. Very nice reel.
I have plans for frames for the 9/0 and other reels, but for the moment I don't have a CNC shop that can make them at an affordable price. They all think we Norwegians are millionares and set the price based on that. Well, they won't get the job that way. I am not going to pay $100 a piece fo the Long Beach 60 half frame when I order 50 of them.
So, until I find someone who can cut the frames for me, I just have to buy existing products like anyone else.
If the price i about $100.- I want one black frame.
Trond
I have a newer 9/0 with post not graphite lower frame. If they will fit I'm in.
Maybe I need to buy a 9/0 reel...research reel ;D
Ok, I'm in for one black... Now I need to find a nice 9/0
Count me in for 2 silver frames ;D
I'm in for a silver one! Bob
what color options will be available?
Only Silver or Black Jason.
To bad, I was thinking an ice blue would look pretty sweet!
My hand is raised for one silver. Thanks for making these available again.

Jason I bet if you purchased a silver one you could stain it blue with a chemical bath that I remember seeing used years ago on polished shafts on electric motors. It was so long ago I cannot remember the name but I will if someone refreshes my recollection of the name. There are plenty of machinists on this site that will know what I am talking about. Dominick

Oh by the way, that's Tom Testa.
Anyway, if that water dip thing is powder coated after, they I think they would be about the same. If not, I think Anodizing is better.
This is only my personal opinion.
Anodizing is about as good as you can get.
Cerakote is very good
Powder coat is pretty good amd very resilient when using good powder. Myriads of options available, but tolerances may suffer.
Hydrographics are top coated with automotive type finishes. So, anything that would scratch or ding your car will do he same to your reel.
Depending on applicator and color, anodizing many pieces is very cheap per piece. Powder is more, cerakote and hydrographics are even more.
I will see what I can find on getting it Anodized. Blue would be a sweet contrast.
Look for "bright dip" anodizers. Regular takes the pretty machines surface and dulls it badly. A custom anodizer vs a commercial may br the way to go. The commercial one i went to wanted 80 bucks per color. Regardless of quantity. To fill the 11ft long vat would have been 80 bucks. So it can be cheap, or it can get really pricey when looking for one off pieces.
I would like 1 silver.
Thanks,
TomT
By the way, is this good enough for a pre-order or is there a sign-up post only. If you need pre-pay just let me know.
I too would like 1 silver.

That equals 23. ;)
Thanks everyone!
I will pull this on off the shelf after I get some other projects completed.
Keep letting me know which color you prefer, Black or Silver. The anodizing is the last step, so I'll break it down then.
Keep in mind that these frames do not fit the bushing 9/0's correctly. I picked up a bearing and bushing reel from Randy and confirmed this issue.The two bottom posts are off a bit from the bearing and Chinese models. I believe they will bolt up, but you have to leave one of the screws out. If you are going that route, make sure you leave the same screw out on both sides of the frame, so the spool alignment remains true.

Tom, did you mean the bushing and the Chinese model? I am a little confused.
Sorry for the confusion.
The older made in USA bushing model reels have a slightly different hole pattern that won't accept all the mounting screws. These frames fit the Made in USA bearing model and the Chinese model perfectly.
Although I already have two of the silvers mounted on my 9/0s, I can't resist the chance to get a black one, too... count me in! :D

Dominick, I believe Prussian blue is a colored ink that is brushed on metal surfaces so that you can see scribe marks more clearly. It's easily removed with alcohol. It comes in red also. RUDY

Close. Dykem is the name brand for layout fluid used by machinists, which is what you are describing. Prussian blue is a deep blue pigment, that can be used in making layout fluid, among many other things.
I would be in for one in black.
I'll take a black one
one silver.
being a newbie and sorta chciken to play with springs since they always go flying into space how do i tell if my reel is a chinese one or not or if the frame will fit it.. Says made in USA on side plate and i bought it new probably in 88 or 89.

Bill,
The Chinese ones are L2 Models. 115L2. It will have a half graphite frame. The sleeve is a different design as well and has a nut on top of it. Rather than the normal Handle screw with a plastic cap on it.
Also notice there are only 5 screws in the side plates.

I got the latest word from Tom, the frames are machined and are ready for polishing & anodizing. I'm drooling because I want one so bad. Probably 2 months.
Tom doesn't mess around. If its coming from him, they will have to be perfect.
You better get in on this people. With Adam's inserts, you will need one of these to handle that drag.
Shark, a) is very knowledgeable b) commendable in offering hard won experience as are many on this site. Dudes help me out on PM and save lots of time and $$$. Pay it forward when you can.
I am new on this forum but I will be down for a silver one! Sorry if I missed it but, is there a price posted on these? I live over in Panama City near Lynn Haven if anyone wants to go fishing one day. ;D
Welcome Sam. They are in the production process. I expect the price to be right around $100. I think that is a great deal for what you are getting.
Sounds good! Yes sir, I will be in for a silver one. There is a wealth of information here. I am glad I stumbled upon it.

......and welcome to the Alan Tani community. Stumblers are welcome too !! ;D

Ted just told me about this thread. Wedding planning has put a bit of a crimp in my reel upgrading and collecting lately, so please excuse my tardiness. If you need to get rid of some let me know and I'll take 1. I love supporting quality craftsmen when they clearly aren't doing this for the dough, but more for the good of their fellow fisherman. The last batch that I asked Tom to build came out way better than I expected. They are truly a nice edition to any 9/0 but if you plan on using the SS gears from Alan Tani than they are 100% necessary as you will be taking that reel to drag ranges of 45-55 lbs. They are sexy, custom, limited, and no one can compete with Tom's pricing and quality. Way to go Tom... A lot of people have been waiting for these.
Daron must have 12 or more 9/0's because he holds more 9/0 frames from the first run than anyone in the world. ;)
Thanks
Dom

As a prenup trial I took my wife on a fishing trip and she loved it. She used to be my caddy and loves golf, she loves to shoot, hates to hunt but orders me to bring home some meat. Life is good. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I would like a 9/0 frame in black please.
You'll let me know how to pay?
thanks... can't wait
I will take one of each please.

I'm not sure if Tom is still taking orders for this run of frames.............sounds to me like this batch is already machined and waiting polishing and anodizing. Hopefully Tom made a few extras for those putting in requests a little late.
I would like a silver 1st or a black one if some would be available. Thx
Hey All,
Yes I do have all the machining finished on the frames! I need to finish the clamps and the clamp nuts, then everything will be ready for polish and plating.
I'm going to try another polisher this time out because of pricing issues at the previous vendor. He's gotten very pricey, so maybe time for some new blood. Nothing will be done until I clear out some of the backlog projects I have stacked up. I want to clear out the three gear sleeve projects first, then I'll wrap this up for you all!
Thanks,
Tom
Thank You! Tom. ;D
This is awesome! You're the man! ;D
I'm in for a silver frame and gear sleeve IF there's left overs.
You can get the ss sleeve from Alan or Bryan David. Tom is only making sleeves for the 10/0 and up.
There should be enough frames to go around. I am assuming you want stainless.
Yep stainless.
Any update on the frames? Not trying to be impatient or anything just haven't heard anything in a while. I used the 9 last night and it reminded me about them.
Nothing new to report. I still have a couple of projects to wrap up, and then I'll get on these! I'm just as impatient as you all are, the sooner these are off my plate, the sooner I can start the new projects!
Thanks Tom, looking forward to the finished product and my dad always said you cant rush a good thing.....it took me a while to catch on, but yep.... He was right.
Tom I had wanted a frame from beginning of post I apologize for any inconvenience but I have another child on the way so my fishing funds and projects have to be put on hold once again I do apologize for any inconvenience I guess it can go to the first guy who wanted silver after you stopped taking orders thank you
Mike
My 9/0 will be sitting on the work bench with a batch of new upgrade parts just waiting for its new frame.
It wasn't caught on the Senator but here is one from the weekend. The next night we caught a big bull on the 9/0. This was my personal best Blacktip shark I didn't even know they got this big. Both fish released in good shape. I'm the one on the fish and my bother is holding the rod looking super Asian.

I joined the forum back in March to get info on a Shimano reel rebuild and this is my first post. I'm glad I found this post and I hope I'm not to late to order a 9/0 frame.
If someone can confirm that the price($100), and they can be ordered in a Black frame I would like to order one. I browsed at previous post but I'm not finding who I need to PM my order to and if Paypal is accepted form of payment. Also has there been a delivery date posted? I'll review the post(s) again post again maybe I missed it.

Today I fell in love.
At first it was just the look, but then I heard it. The healthy click click click click of my new 115L, oooooooh baby baby.
New SS internals on there way will start arriving this week. Only items still needed are Lee SS dogs and a new AT arm and 6/0 handle.
Got my 112h off the bench this afternoon so the coast is clear, this is going to be my offshore big gun for the occasional billfish that I run across or sharks and my deep dropper for BFT.
You are moving on up David!
Welcome Tuna! Tom is on vacation now. A set price hasn't been confirmed.
Sam, straddling a shark like that is a good way to get shark rash. I would have preferred a view from the front. :D
Nice Black Tip! ;)
I might break down and buy a frame myself if Tom makes any extras on this latest run. Hint hint......
Shark rash is no joke haha. Sorry for the pictures I had to bum one from someone on the beach because I didn't have a phone or camera!
I wish we had shark fishing from the shores out he like that! Solid catch!
I just realized that I work about three minutes from Toms. I should go sit on his porch till he gets home.
Just a quick update. I just got back from vacation, and haven't done a thing with these frames.
There isn't a list or anything yet, and I don't think there will be a need for one when they are done. There are 50 frames so if they sell like the first run, they will be available for a while.
I guess David wasn't on the porch to greet you. :-*
I started to head his way then I saw a shiny sign and got distracted!
I bet it said " penn 970's and all 9/0 Accuplates half price", didn't it?
9/0 accumulates would stop me cold in my tracks
Please put me down for two frames, thanks.
Hey all,
I will be sending 54 frame kits to the plater next week! I am expecting about a week turn around from them. After reading 8 pages of posts, I am going to do a 70/30 split with the bias on silver over black. If anyone wants an unanodized kit for custom colors please contact me before Monday(7/27).
The kit includes the following:

Stainless clamp hardware(studs,washers, and nuts)
Stainless Clamp nuts
One Penn chrome over brass post.

Question...Does the high bar go on the front or the back? Dominick
Either way ;)
Dominick, didn't you buy one of the first rounders?... As far as I know these are the same. You need to use a tanked 9/0 like Erik Powell when you go to baja.🐋
Good call on the silver... They're my favorite unless I had a pair of 9/0 black side plates of course. Then I'd go all black.
This is the number one upgrade for the 9/0, so if you plan on pushing your 9/0, installing BP gears, or on the chance you might encounter "the one." These are for you!
Thanks
Dom

I'll second that. And on top of that, these frames are NICE! The machining is as good as it gets. And you don't see an integral foot like this on hardly anything.
Quote from: Cortez_Conversions on July 24, 2015, 07:53:12 PM
Either way ;)
The reason I asked is that I think somewhere in the original thread someone showed a photo with the low bar in front and was told it was on backwards. Dom I did purchase one of the originals and recently put it together. I put the high bar in front and it does not look right. It looks like the line will touch the bar when the line goes down on the spool. Has anyone had a problem with that happening? Dominick
Dominick,
This is the gold full frame model from the first run. The high bar goes in front. If you look at the Black one. The spool will have to get pretty low to hit that bar.

Guess who?? http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=9184.240 (Bottom of page) ;D

Please remember that the post on a stock frame is in the same place. I can't remember hearing of anyone having issues wittiness rub on the frame. Usually the only way line would rub is if you were down to the knot. And if you are down to your knot you only have an issue for a few moments....
Dominick, i have with the high bar in front so if I need to thumb the reel, it's easier.
I haven't actually tested it with a fish but I have with a simulation of a fish and it wasn't a problem. Maybe it's possible but I don't see it.
If you don't buy one of these for joe, I'm telling him when we get together next time😬

Dom, Joe is one of the least mechanically minded guy I know. I rebuilt a reel for him and sent it with the handle loose so that it would fit in the box. I had to splain (Desi Arnez quote) him on how to put the handle on. All he wants to do is fish. Dominick
LOL, now that you know what you're dealing with, you also know that you have to set up the reel ready to fish... like I do for my mom. ;)
PS- so you got the mechanical mind and he gets the fish in the cooler... you got a raw deal pal. :-*

Here are a couple of pictures of the shark handle especially for Aiala. This is how it shines. Dominick

Wholly catz!! :o :o
Okay, Dominick, so I followed Adam's and your advice and got the sandpapers and the SS polish and I've started on the handles... they're brightening up a lot, but geez, nothing like yours! Thing is, I'm a bit leery about applying too much pressure for fear of scratching the metal... how hard should I bear down? I see you wrap the sandpaper around a wooden block... is that the way to go? ???
~
A~
Aiala, do you have an electric buffer? If not, you need to wetsand with very fine with the sandpaper, all the way up to 2000 grit before polishing to get a mirror finish. Electric buffers, especially the bench grinder type can polish out the scratches from much coarser sandpaper than you will be able to buff out by hand. How many different grits you want to buy depends on how much money and effort you want to put into it, but as a general rule of thumb, the larger the "step" between grits, the more work it will take to remove the scratches from the last step. Water with a tiny bit of dish soap keeps the sandpaper from clogging up, and it leaves a better finish. Change paper when it starts to lose its grit.
Dominick,
I have a half dozen on the way to work your magic on. ;D
I can't wait to see your hand polished 9/0 frames.
Aiala Adam is correct. I have an electric sander and change sandpaper often. Wet sanding is better. I actually got bored and stopped short of where I really wanted it. I figured I would get back to it when I was in between projects. That block of wood was for something else. I used it to prop up the reel. If you don't have an electric buffer send it to me. Daron I'll be glad to work on one for you also. Adam I ran into a problem with the locking screw. I had to tap the hole because the screw would not work. I used a 5-40 tap and it worked really well. Dominick
You did a great job on that handle... what a difference!
Thanks for the explanation, I may need to try that on some of my lightly scratched and not so shiny aftermarket handles.
Dom
Dominick,
I'm going to take you up on that. I am so busy working on the guts right now. I have Tom's SS Sleeves paired with Adam's Big boy Inserts, SS gears on the 14/0, Double dogging with my latest order from Lee's stainless dogs. So many reels, so little time.
I actually fished one of these my last trip. The tail is sharp as hell. ::)
Adam did good on these. ;D

Dominick, I don't have a sander/buffer, so like Dom I shall take you up on your very kind offer. (I've got two of Adam's handles, one regular and one counterbalanced.) I'm not going fishing until the end of October (3 months from today, come to think of it) so no rush.
I had a feeling there was a little more to this process than just hand sanding. :-\

Looking forward to making a tanked up 9/0.........can't wait !!
Ted
Please include your shipping address in your PayPal notes. Also, please use the "payment for goods/services". I don't want to get hassled over the friends/family gift.
I appreciate the effort, but I play fair.
10 frames going out tomorrow!
Thanks all!
I didn't put my address in the notes but it should be on the paypal shipping address. Sam Carithers and it's going to Panama City, Fl.
I tried to pm you but it wouldn't go through.

Yes they are.
Wasn't around for the last batch but this frame is gorgeous!
The finish and the fit are flawless!
Attached to my frame is a never used 115L.
All I need to fish now is a handle and line.
Everything lined up perfectly and the installation was a snap.
The only thing left to do will be to take 1/16" off of 1 right side screw that protrudes ever so slightly.
Thanks Tom. Great work!

I have a few more parts I'm waiting on for this build so it's all going in the box for now.
Still looking for mine. Hopefully it's here soon, I can't wait.
Received mine... it's flawless... the ultimate Black Beauty! :D
Now all I need is another 9/0 to dress up. I hope I can get one this time that hasn't been loused up by a nincompoop...! (http://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/icon_facepalm.gif)

Frame arrived yesterday and I am in agreement with others that these frames are very high quality and I feel blessed to own one... I planned ahead and started looking for a nice 9/0 candidate a few months back, and after installing Toms' frame, it turned out so nice that I'm putting this one on the shelf for good....Thanks Tom !!
I have a feeling the auction price of 9/0's is going to go up as everyone goes in search of a reel for their new frame. Patience is the key, 9/0's are common and a near mint 9/0 can be had for $100 or less.
Everyone should be getting their frames in the next couple of days.
I dropped them all off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. So keep an eye out and try not to maul your postal carrier.
Thanks everyone for your patience with me getting these things out. On to the next project!!
Tom

Very nice! I've noticed lately that there are some serious deals to be had on craigslist as far as reels go. A gentleman had at least 3x very nice 9/0's on rods for $90 each, and they were in great shape, and still took about 2 weeks for all to sell.
Ted's reel turned out great, so I'm sure there will be a lot of upcoming pictures of this gnarly frame being put to the test by other members. Nice job all around!
Tom,
MO sent for one black; thanks!
John
Tom, are any of these still available? If so how much $$$

Bmitch i can tell you these are first rate. Chomping at the bit to get off the road for a minute and get mine installed. Following your 9/0 thread, a must-have as Darron recommended.
Thor
Yes along with all the SS goodies😉😎
I do still have a few of each color available.
The kit includes the following:
Frame
Clamp
Stainless clamp hardware(studs, washers and nuts)
Stainless Clamp nuts
One Penn chrome over brass post.

Can someone please clarify which direction these frames were intended to mount on the reel ??
One side has lowered cross member , and other side has non lowered cross member. As I look thru a few threads I see it mostly mounted with the lowered cross member on the front side of the reel. I guess if lowered cross member was on the back side it may be easier to use your thumb as a brake. The non lowered cross member looks like it could rub on the line if the frame was installed that direction, but not likely.
You can mount it either way Ted. These were molded after accurate. The high bar in the front.

The Silver frames are sold out!
I still have a handful in black.
Thank you all!

Thanks for the frame Tom. You don't leave a thing out do you. Attention to detail and go the extra mile. That is very rare these days when everything is about the bottom line and not quality.

Nice reel Chad. You would be better off if you turn that frame around, some say they could be mounted either way, on this particular reel, I don't believe so. But...whatever floats your boat.
Your name brought back some memories, I did a book report about Chad in 1974 and got some good grades. ;D
The teacher asked why would I choose such a small country, I said it was smack in the center of Africa ;D...interesting country.

Sal, I'm still getting some parts together for my build...thnx for the help😉 Why would you reverse the frame as above??? Line clearance an issue with the higher cross member in the "front" of the reel is not an issue??
Bob
I think it makes the bar looks high in relation to the rear of the frame and spool.
Unless you are close to getting spooled, it won't be an issue.
I fished one last September and it did fine.
I just wish something would have tested it.

One of my reason is I don't like my line going over drilled holes. Tom did a great job on those, but things don't stay the same with usage. It will also make it easier using your thumb when deep dropping. Keeping the line high when it gets low on the spool is also good.
Bob, this is just my opinion, I have no issues if anyone would rather have it the other way.

Sal thanks for sharing.
Running the low bar in front is a throwback to when I used to own Accurate conversions.
Mostly aesthetics, as I liked having the lettering facing the angler rather than upside down..;)
The high bar in back wasn't a problem when casting as I lock the spool with my thumb on the edge of the spool lip, rather than on the line. No deep drop applications here.
As for the screws, Accurate's sit inside the frame (as I'm sure you know) and I would fill the rest of the screw hole with grease.
Love the stock Penn 6/0 frames that don't have any thru-screw holes, but never had a problem with the above setup.
I may have to re-consider things with these new 9/0 frames though for the reasons you mention;
Just checked the reel pictured above, and the right-sideplate screw for the low bar is long enough that a few threads sit outside the frame--probably enough to contact the line.
Chad

Chad, can I ask what line you put on your 9/0 and how you plan to fish it?
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
All my 9/0's are used for ulua shore fishing applications..Either the reel is cast and the bait slid down, or, if targeting pelagic species, the bait is let out on a float with the wind to hold it 300 yards or so offshore...The waters here can get fairly deep close to shore, so a long cast isn't often necessary...I run 80lb straight Berkley Big Game biminied to a mono leader of 200-400lb test, as in the reel above...A few other 9/0's get spooled with 100lb Big Game and braid backing for capacity.
Chad
I spooled 30 yds 100 mono on arbor for braid to grab, 600 yds 100 lb Power Pro topped to fill with 80 lb BG, so it won't look naked sitting in rod rack.

Steve, sorry, just saw this.....it's on a 6.5 50-80 troller with aluminum butt and all rollers that I'd built some years ago (A Thorhammer); it was the best orphan rod I had around when I built the reel. I intend to use sharking from shore and will build out a 6.6 with slick butt and roller stripper and tip with Turbos in between to save weight; will also then suit for trolling or grouper fishing if needed.

Not a collector - gotta fish it!

I just received a very nice 9/0 from a member yesterday and I'm churning on getting one of the last frames for a matched pair. You'll regret selling it, don't .
That's all folks! The last two have been sold. Thank you all so much for all the business!

Here is my 9.0 with Tom's silver frame. It's not totally finished but close. It has all the upgrades stainless gears and gear sleeve. I bought Bryans drag washers but decided to go with Adams insert and washers so I will save Bryans washers for a future project. Waiting for a side cover to practise on before maching for the duel dog . All put together with a NOS 115 9.0. I also went with a aluminum spool the cast spool is to heavy for my taste.
That's pretty! :P
Ever making more?? Or does anyone want to sell one?! ;D
I'll take another one. That's two down, Tom!!!!!

....I'd sell this one, but it comes already built.
lol I've already got a fully built 9/0 minus the frame. Still tempting! Pm me a price?
Any of these frames still available?
I don't think so. He sold the last one this past week. Try the Want To Buy section & maybe someone here might want to sell one.

The handle arm is from a 1940's 9/0 and the Eva knob came from Alan Chui (19.99) right here in the for sale section. I'm pretty sure he still has a few of the Eva knobs left.
GREAT! THANKS FOR THE TIME

I do have one Dom/Tom silver frame for the 115L which has been mounted on one of my 9/0s, but it's a shelfie, never left the house and is in flawless condition. I'm going to switch it out for an extra black frame I bought, and since I don't really need three 115Ls, I'd be willing to let it go.
I'm currently awaiting a reply to a PM I sent to a newbie member who expressed an interest, but if I don't hear anything by tomorrow it'll be available to anyone else, whereupon they can PM me and we'll proceed from there. :)

SOUNDS GOOD! LET ME KNOW
I will commit to two frames. One black and one silver.

I think you are a month late and a dollar short. The supply dried up a few weeks ago. Post an ad in the Want To Buy section & maybe one of the members bought an extra one they want to part with. Now we are all waiting for the 113H aluminum side plates to be released. Rudy
I will probably have another run done by the end of the year.
That is fantastic. I kinda wanted to get in on the last batch but things didn't work out for me. I will definitely be in on the next run. I have several Senators that I have been contemplating upgrading and I think the 9/0 would be best for my applications.
Great news.
Is there any chance of you making frames for some big boy senators in the future?

Don't be silly everyone needs three of whatever Tom does.

True enough, but only if the supply is limitless; which, at the moment, it isn't. In any event, I sold the frame, and I'm very pleased that another member will now get to build and enjoy a fabulous Dom/Tommed 9/0. ;)

You are a true lady in your consideration of respecting the resource. A surprise to no one:). I have one built, awaiting the next run :).

I'll still send my 10/0 in if you need one to speed up the process! ;)
Right into Tom's Hands. ;)
I can't wait to see this!

right!! Best news I've heard in awhile! I'll be on that list for sure.
The way Tom has been making 9.0 frames. The market for used 9.0 will soon dry up or at least make them hard to find in good condition.
When these come around again I'm in for a set of black.

That just means Tom will have to make side plates too :)

Alantani Edition 9/0? We've got enough knowledgeable/capable people on the site to do almost an entire reel using no Penn parts, right?
Now I didn't say side plates but that was what I was thinking. Make a new style frame with side plates sounds good to me.
You guys keep dreaming.
It might come true. ;)
I do have a black frame left I will sell to a member at the same price paid. Just PM me if needed.
Keith
I'd be interested in another black frame.
I have one silver and two black frames available.
I'll take the silver frame. I'll PM you.
Email sent..
Keith
I will take a black one if there is one left.
Mark
I'll take the last black frame if it's still available.

Great. I see some others jumped in before I could respond, so please let me know if there is a black one for me.
Thanks.
Bill
Keith sent you a pm Bill. The ones that just sold were from Tom.

Address and money sent. I look forward to receiving the frame.
I PM'd you that I have one for you?
Alright folks, I'm going to be dropping another run of these frames to the plater this week.
Let's hear some color ideas!
Blue would be my first Choice.
I think black and silver are the best colors here.
Colbalt blue or dark green would he cool too, but don't really match any of the available handles, spools, stars etc..
I will take a black one. I would love a gold.
Gold... and red? :)
~A~
I still like the silver. It matches the rest of the reel.
The black frames are finally in.
I made the plater strip and re-polish the silver ones, so it'll be another week before they are ready.
Have a great weekend!
Got mine! Thanks Tom. ;D ;D ;D
Andy
Silver frames are now in stock!
Get them while you can folks, this is the last run. We are moving on to other projects....
Tom
I finally broke down and bought one to complete my build.
I apologize but I have not read through the whole thread. What is the price on one of these frames?
They are $105.00 with tax and shipping. Silver or Black are the only color options.
Tom
Hello All,
I have 2 Black frame kits left!
https://www.cortezconversions.com/product-page/penn-senator-9-0-115-reel-frame
I also have 1 Silver kit that has some stains on the under side by the foot. I'll knock $15 bucks off list price.
Thanks!
