Title: Tekota 700 parts
Post by: Haifisch on February 04, 2015, 08:50:19 PM
I have a Tekota 700 on the bench that was butchered by the last guy that "serviced" it. Anyone have a keyed drag washer (TGT0565) that they would sell or part with? The Shimano website shows them out of stock...

Wow, 9 parts out of stock on the Tekota 700, 5 with no ETA. Bummer. At least Penn and Abu parts are easy to get. ???

That reel isn't that old and you can't find parts :-\. Yeah, some of the penn reels from 80+ years ago look just like the reels of today. Not many companies have that.

well, gave up waiting and made a washer out of a stainless washer I hand broached to fit it.  So far so good according to the happy owner... :-\
