#1. I just picked up a Penn senator with screws securing the internal rings to the stand. This one is marked 4/0 with no stamp on the reel stand (no yards or part #) I have seen this hidden screw design in is early 2/0 and 3/0s but most older 4/0 are buit with screws through both rings.
Any idea of when this design shifted
#2. I have accuulated several old first design senators 2/0 s and 3/0 s some are wide others are narrow I dont see any reference to wide style in parts diagrams. Were these old options or old mods.
I can add photo as time permits.

Would like to see photos. These variations that you mention sound like after market conversion.
