Is Shakespeare still in the reel business? I have an oldie here that I bought in the mid 60's. It was working till I through out the 2 spacers.
#1935 Direct Drive - Free spool - Level Wind Reel
I through out the 2 spacers & I can make new ones but I want to keep it original.

most Shakespeare knuckle-busters are pretty cheap & a "parts reel" may be easier to find than new parts:

Yes, Shakespeare is now a brand of Pure Fishing.
I got a Basspro catalogue that is full of Shakespeare stuff. Rods, reels...mostly entry level stuff.
Thanks guys
I will just make 2 spacers & be done with it. I never plan to use the reel again anyway.

Schematics for old Shakespeare reels are tough to find. Here's a link that has photos of the 2062 and 2081 schematics:

Thanks Mike
I picked up a parts reel that was better then my reel. Now I have a few parts.
