Quote from: Maxed Out on Today at 08:06:05 PMI found one online thru Ali Express that looks very similar to yours, but doesn't say it's a Brinkmann. It's $397

I have no idea if that's a good price as I got mine as an anniversary gift from my wife around 10 years ago....I'm sure they are still produce just under a different name brand

Quote from: jgp12000 on Today at 05:20:28 PM220 Bearing Size? It appears this size also fits the 440 according to eBay.I was just curious if it also fits 220N, 285, and 330? I am sure Fred knows the answer or could list all the sizes in his spare time... :cf me so funnie !

Most top quality reel manufacturers of 40-50 years ago also listed a "Parts Interchangeability" chart, along with part numbers —- either in the back of the Shop Manuals, or as a separate shop booklet.

Here is an example on the 100176 bearing —-

Wayne I never use a formal receipt, I just throw a bunch of ingredients into a bowl and taste it as I go along. Usual ingredients are soy sauce, garlic, citrus juice, honey, sugar, ginger, lemongrass, oil (sesame and/or chili) and water....

It's a Brinkmann Trailmaster smoker. I think the company went out of business around 2015

The anti-reverse dogs are quiet and work well -- but their design means they will result in some resistence when turning the handle. This is most noticeable in high gear. (The anti-reverse dog is essentially a large Ambassadeur-like dog.) That resistance will moderate with use. I don't like it either but I just bought a 16VISX because I've been so impressed with my 20VISX.

Quote from: Cortez_Conversions on Today at 03:19:15 PMSearch for micrometer adjustment spanner wrenches. The look about the same size. Without dimensions, I can't tell for sure.

Yes, that's what mine were originally for, but they had to be filed a little to work properly. I bought 4 separate wrenches so I would have plenty of options in case I needed spanners for multiple size nuts. The bigger the reel the larger the circumference of the notched nuts. The Orvis 50A nuts are pretty darn small. The Delfino nuts are quite a bit larger.
