What have I got myself into. I'm good with Penn 320 GTi or 209 or even Senator 114HL's but I got these today. Must say I like the larger reels because the parts are so big and easy to work with but first time with this much corrosion and type of Drag. Do not see these in CLE Ohio much! Advise welcome. Going to start looking here for tutorials and pre-treat with some PB blaster penetrating catalyst.
Are these your reels or are you doin repairs as a business?
I have worked with the 30 and 50. they are not complicated. There is a lot of info in the tutorials for those reels. go slow and if you run into trouble ask. I don't know about the Makaira but Alan is a whiz with them. Dominick
Not my reels, some side work.
So far so good. Figured out and viewed the tutorial.
From the Penn Int II 30TW. What are they, where do they go and what are they for? Thank you.
Got it. now to set up the lever drag.
Hi Christofer, I thought they are more for changing gears, go to Mystic parts net sight & download the schematics for each reel, good luck cheers Don.

They are part of the plunger sub group. Look at your main gear / shaft assembly there should be two holes 2/3 the way down the hollow shaft. There is a spring inside the shaft that tensions the plunger. Those ride in the side plate collar and when the plunger is depressed retract into the shaft to allow the gear shift
