No issues, Jack —-

The DQ's that sometimes have stuck bearings are mostly Finessa's & 270 Supers.

I always coat the outside of the bearings with synthetic grease like Super-Lube, Yamalube, or Cal's.  That way, when someone needs to service it a few years or decades down the road —- it pops out easily.

Just PM me your full mailing information, and I'll get it off to you tomorrow.  Best, Fred

Fred mentioned awhile back doing a DQ in German flag colors & I was thinking a 285 would be a good candidate.The bearing & plate covers in  black,yellow body,& red rotor?

Still going to try a couple more different locations for color .   The last one was a disappointment , the colors are there , just now what I envisioned

Hi Fred, thank you again for the help with the bearing, reel was my father's and has lots of miles on it. My computer skills are limited at best, so can you please tell me how to purchase the 1001 cover.  Thanks, Jack
