Reel Repair by Alan Tani

yeah, this is the reel that really needs the stainless steel gear sleeve.  you'll have to get them now from mysticparts.  i have 114h's and 113h's, but none of the 98-60 jigmaster sleeves left.  good luck with the restoration!

Hey guys,
I screwed up! 
The 113 that I thought I had to send Kevin turned out to be a 113h (I'm sending it to him anyway to practice on).

I'm sending him a list of parts he'll need for his 113 with links to Mystic Parts.  But, Is there anyone else that can help out?

He needs a 98-60 (preferably stainless), two 8-60's, a 10-66, a 23-60, a 110-60, and any "A" type handle (jigmaster size).

Thanks guys!

I've got a 98-60 (not ss but not rounded at all) and a couple of 8-60's I'd be happy to send. Also a couple of Jigmaster counterbalanced torpedo handles if you want (but you probably want a power handle). PM me and I'll get them into the mail.

I am truly blown away at all the great response and support, thanks again to Chad also, I have been fishing for years with my brother who I recently lost to cancer, haven't fished since but the boat and the water are calling, he was the wiz at reels, love the old pens, hope I can learn from all of you and get back on the water where he would want me, thanks again looking forward to being a part of this great community at Tani.   Kevin

Sorry for your loss Kevin, it is never easy. Memories, no one could take them from you, just keep remembering the good times.

I'm not sure were you are with this.
If you are still searching, I just remembered a friend gifted me a 113, it is used but in good shape.
I usually don't sell or give away gifts, but this particular friend would understand.

I have not worked on it, I want you to do it, but if you want me to service it, just let me know.

Send me you address on a private message and I'll get it out to you.

Best,

Sal

You're a good man, Sal!

Thank you to all the incredible help that's been offered here, I am so looking forward to building friendships and learning from all of you.  Thanks again!!!

Hello Kevin, how did that nice looking 113 I sent you work out?
I mailed it the Jan-5 and tracking showed you received it within two days.

Gentleman sorry for disappearing for a bit, ran into some kidney trouble, a few surgeries later and still kicking, I wanted to give a huge word of thanks to Scrinch, Al and Chad for sending me parts and beautiful reels!!!! I was truly humbled, I used parts from Chads reel and Scribchs parts for my old penn senator, can you guys give me a name of a good company that deals with the old pens that I might complete this reel ? The one my brother and I used to use is gone, any advice would be helpful, well guys as we wait for spring I look out my old farmhouse window at the old Grady frozen in the field and think of strippers!!!! Thanks again so much and God bless!!!!! Kevin

Stripers  Sorry for the typo.    I'm wondering if metic would be a good group to deal with?

Mystic.  Typo.   Gettin old I guess

Crow, we don't care if you spend most of your winter closed up thinking about strippers. Just don't send us any pics.

Mystic is great. Unfortunately they have to rely on the USPS to get their stuff to you. That part of the equation gets messed up often in my experience. Like the part I was to receive yesterday for the reel I was to work on today.... not Mystic's fault, don't anybody get mad at me!

Just made my first order for parts at Mystic!!! Will keep you posted on gettin this old girl on one of my old rods.   When ordering the 110-60 it asked for reel type as did the other parts I ordered but it had a choice of 133 or 113h I put 113 hope that's correct Thanks guys!!!!

113 or 113h.   I said 113 hope that's correct
