Title: Ocean City Big Game 6/0 #606 project - Spare Parts Source?
Post by: tab on May 01, 2015, 12:55:40 AM
Hey guys  -
I came into this 6/0 reel in a parts lot and it looks to be about 98% complete.
It needs a good cleaning & service, including newer drag washers... but other than that I only seem to be a few screws shy of complete. I can verify this once I find a schematic.

I've read that OC has been out of the game since the 70's as well... do I have any options for parts other than a little luck on the used market?

Found a reel diagram and I think I'm in luck.
Just missing a few screws and need to replace the leather drag washers.
Heading to a local shop tomorrow that's been in business since 1945 to see if they have some options that will work.
