Title: Need help finding this part.
Post by: Pier_Hopper on June 26, 2021, 08:28:18 PM
I am about to purchase an older international 50. However it is missing the little knob on the end of the drag adjustment lever and the lever is also bent inward. Where can I find these parts?

Its a Penn 112-50 eccentric knob. I cannot find one anywhere. Would anyone here happen to have one they would be willing to part with?

Mystic lists it as no longer available.

However, if you're willing to pay through the nose:

But it's the last one, so a rapid decision is warranted.  :)

Many of those Penn parts, and particularly for Internationals — are pricey because no one else has them anymore.

Justin Grob (fishgrain on our site and eBay) is a solid and honest seller with thousands of Penn parts.

He had this 112-50 for $68.

Shows out of stock — but knowing him, he may have another.

If not, let me know — I have some sources that should have it — but try Justin first

Best, Fred

Yes, but they are private sources that I would need to contact directly.

Let's wait and see if Fishgrain (Justin) has the part, first.

And if anyone else on our site may have the part.

If not, I will try my sources for you.

Best, Fred

part #112, 112A, and 113. the cap is the only piece still available. You can find them on ebay but sit down before you look at prices.  I have several of these old reels and unless you want them stock for ascetic reasons - you don't need those pieces. Mine work just fine without them.
great old reels for midsize game fish.

someone with a machine shop needs to knock out about a hundred of these.  some originals are made of plastic and have to be replaced.   :-\
