Title: Penn No 9 Eccentric spring.
Post by: fishinintx on July 01, 2015, 12:19:28 AM
Hi Guys new to the forum, but not to penn Reels. Been following Alan for a long while on TKF. I recently had a friend wanted me to repair his no 9 and I disassembled it thinking it would be like the 209. The only problem Im having is seeing a pic of the eccentric spring location. It doesnt have the same ear location for the spring to set into and I didnt check before I took it apart...yea I know lol. Anyway does anyone have a pic of the eccentric spring linked to the jack so I can stop pulling what little hair I have left out?
Thanks
Stacy

Ok that figures. I thought that's where it was. The replacement spring I received is too long is the issue. No wonder I was going crazy. Thanks for the help gentlemen. My next take down is Dual 130.  That ought to be fun.
