I just found an old teal-green 209 at a flea-market that has a fair amount of corrosion on it, and want to 'spiff' it up as much as I can. I'm thinking of buying a NIB 209M that a local shop has had in the window for quite awhile and using it as a donor carcass.
Can I just swap the shiny parts one-for-one, or are there any physical differences as to fit size, etc?
The parts are identical so you can do a direct swap.
Many thanks, I was going cross-eyed trying to compare them and find any difference(s).

Nice find !!! The green Penn peer 209 is a rare reel, I believe it is from the mid 50's.
