Clean up a CA shed find to discover its a quick o matic. Cleaned up well.it was missing a 270 drag knob. When tightened will barely oscillate and bind. I think shaft is wrong for this reel as spool seat is odd. No quick o matic to compare.
Opened up and Cleaned up a desert shed find!! A quick o matic!! I think shaft is wrong on this reel. See pictures. Found it this way without functioning drag knob. New knob causes reel to bind. No knob , reel oscillates up and down with no problem.
There are supers with the same model number —- but (4) separate versions.
There are parts with the same part number —- but will not interchange.
Here is the correct drag knob for the earlier Super LC 270.
On the right, in the photos.

I do believe that your click gear on the main shaft is upside down ...

Yes, that is probably the issue, Joe.

Since click plate is fused to shaft ( with rust) thought it might be the way it was on this model. Now it makes sense with a little penetrating oil and heat. It should be removed and flipped on top. Hopefully will work. Then there are always Fred dq shaft parts... with the right knob!!
Once you flip the click gear, it will work !! The spool went to far in the basement .
It knew those would come apart to remove the click plate —- but I have never had any need to take one apart.
Have always cleaned them in lacquer thinner and the US cleaner —- and found no need to separate the two.
But I guess someone did in years past.

I thought it was going to be easy to flip over! Prior owner mangled the roll pin and flattened it! Will require drilling out and new pin. Unless i grind the head down one side and tap it out??
Fred to rescue!? I will need a new shaft and pin and the correct 3 legged knob.
File the pin flush , than punch it out . You don`t have to go completely out . just enough to clear the shaft .
Thats plan A. But got to have a plan b and c!!
Here is how I support the spool shaft and click ring for removal and reinstallation.
Like all of the quality DQ reels —- the tolerances are tight as well as exact. There is no slop, slip, or looseness.
It just fits as it should.
I always have a few hardwood blocks that I use for removing gears from axles, crank handles, bearings from pinions, etc.
Just drill a few various sized holes in some hardwood like Alder, Birch, Walnut, or Oak —- not Pine or other soft woods.
Sand them down if you wish (I do just because it looks better).
And you will find many uses.
I removed this pin yesterday —- it was tight, and required a large hammer along with a 1/16" or 3/32" punch.
To get it back in, I use a larger punch so there is no slippage.
I would be glad to send you another new, complete spool shaft.
But you have nothing to lose by giving this a try.
The key is a steady, solid support —- a large hammer —- and a steady hand and eye.
Best, Fred
::) Proceed with plan A , Plan B is already in motion ...
Will do! When back. Business trip and fishing in Florida for two weeks!!
On Fred's schematic it looks like the click gear is on a spool spindle as a single part, #31370.
Looks like a real well-made reel Fishgolfman.

Hi Greg —-
That schematic is just the first page one of my ABU Shop Service Manuals.
It was just handy to take a couple of photos on.
But typically, the click disc, pin, and spool axle all come as one unit. I have a few dozen of these new —- and that is how all of them are. Even though they do come apart.
Best, Fred
Tibet information some click gear are two piece .
Very nice Joe.
Here are some pictures of a very early Super. Roll number 000356

There is a metal-washer (1) and another Cellon-washer (2) above the ratchet wheel.
