Quote from: foakes on Today at 05:41:26 PMHere is the screw for that 2052, Steve —-
Along with a bail spring.
This is basic reel repair 101 —- errors that most of us have done at one time, or another.
We figure since the reel is cruddy inside —- that the 5/16" hex head steel screw is just stuck to the bronze main gear.
So we force it since we have it in a socket or a nut driver —- not realizing until too late that it goes on counter-clockwise and comes off clockwise.
Screw snaps off in the main.
When disassembling vintage reels —- always be aware of this possibility of a reverse-threaded keeper screw.
Tread carefully, because these are not easy parts to find anywhere, for any price — without some effort, and luck, and waiting.
Send me your address, and I will send it out tomorrow. N/C.
Best, Fred
