I acquired a Diawa Millionaire 3H and need the handle side spool cap....any idea where to get the part? Bill
If no one else has a part, Bill --
Post a pic of the reel, and I will dig around in the bonepiles --
Do have a large bin or two of NOS Daiwa parts -- might get lucky.
Best,
Fred
Well it's Brother Fred to the rescue again :D If you happen to come across a donor reel like the one below I would appreciate the handle side spool cap and if possible the two casting break pads inside...Im out of patches at the moment so greenbacks will have to do ;)...PM sent. Thank you for all you do for us brother....Bill

Hi Bill --
Do not have a counterbalanced 9/0 crank.
You might check with Randy at Vintage Offshore.
Worked all day on snaking dropped logs out of the woods -- and helping a neighbor who is moving to Oregon load his heavy furniture -- plus splitting wood.
Tomorrow will be helping a couple of friends mill some logs into lumber from 7:00 to 5:00.
So won't likely have time to search for a donor Millionaire until Thursday, earliest -- but it seems like I have seen a couple out in some of the bone bins.
Found this one mixed in with some ABU bait-casters -- however it is too nice to rob parts from -- perfect without a scratch or any signs of usage.
Stay tuned until Thursday.
Best,
Fred
You checked with daiwa? 562-375-6800
I'll check when I get home Bill.
Those reels were essentially clones of Abu Garcia Ambassadeurs. There's a chance that the Abu cap will fit. I know that other parts will interchange.

Sorry, Bill -- no luck finding that one.
Will likely run across one when you no longer need the parts -- but for now, not at hand.
Best,
Fred
Thank you all for checking....will give Diawa a call tomorrow....Bill
Hey Bill --
While rounding up old Penn reels out of the bonepiles this morning -- came across these two Daiwa Millionaires.
If you could use some parts off of them still -- just let me know -- and I will send them out.
N/C.
The brown metallic is a Millionaire 5HS -- the silver one is a Millionaire ll 500M.
Both just partials -- not complete.
Best,
Fred
A bag of parts and not a bearing cap in sight. Sorry.
Brother Fred is my new hero ;D The cap on the 5HS looks about right....PM sent...Thank you again!!! Bill
