Title: Penn Senator 4/0 HLW
Post by: Somerset Pete on October 16, 2017, 08:08:28 PM
A bit of advice please Guys.  I've just acquired a Senator 4/0 HLW, fairly old but in reasonable nick.  It's the version with the spacer bars rather than the half frame.  Anyway, while I was stripping it down, one of the screws sheared in a spacer bar and has defied all attempts at removal.  Does anyone know where I might obtain a replacement spacer bar please?  I can't find one anywhere in the UK.  Thanks.

Hi Peter --

Will any of these work?

Shipping might be expensive from California to the UK, though...

So, if you could find one closer...

Best,

Fred

Hi Fred.  It's like the one in the first photo.  The actual one that's the problem is the one with the line capacity printed on, but they look like they're interchangeable.  How much would you want for one Fred?  As far as shipping costs are concerned, I can't find one in the UK, so I am going to have to spend some money if I want to fix the reel - at the moment all the pieces are just lying in a box doing nobody any good.

Just figure $10 + shipping, Pete --

If you want it, just PM me your full name and exact mailing address.

Best,

Fred

You can also replace the bad spacer bar with to posts. Those might be easier to find down under.

Bill is right --

A couple of posts would work just fine.

Best,

The UK isn't 'down under'.  ;D
