Got some parts from Tom — owner of Cortez Conversions.
And Randy — owner of Vintage Offshore Taclkle.
About time to put these together.

Got most of what I need — however, I'll need to source a few parts — but with the help from some of our members, that won't be an issue.
The 20/0 had over 3 1/2 minutes of free-spool with no line — and just a hand spin.
These products from Tom at Cortez — and Randy at Vintage Offshore — are perfect in every respect.
Best, Fred
Let us know. From memory, I only have; different size Penn screws, yolk & springs, eccentric & springs, maybe an e. jack, and some different size c-Tex washers and some 98-60 size spring washers(all new parts). Hard for me to put new stuff into an old rebuild, when my used stuff still works.
I like the green and red knobs. Are those from Sal? They're going to look great on those reels.

Red crank was a gift from Sal —
Green was a gift from Lou —

I miss both those gentlemen a lot. I hope Lou is doing well wherever he is these days.
