Help!!!...I have lost all of my accu-plate bearing cups (handle side)! Does anyone know of a replacement or source?
Thanx
Mark
I used Tom Hryniuk's bearing cups in an Accurate Magnum. The Magnum only has a tail-plate cup so I used his knurled cup for easy adjustment without a tool.

On the "handle-side" you can use a g200 series bearing and cup on those accurate plates

Sorry Mark,
Looks like I put my foot in my mouth again. ;D
I knew the diameter and thread-pitch of the bearing cups were the same, and that they used the same bearings

but the problem is the difference in the bearing cup height

that doesn't allow you to center the spool properly.
I'll see if i can modify a Newell bearing up to work in the handle-side accurate plate.
Interestingly, the accurate bearing up will not work in a Newell reel because of a centering pin in the accurate bearing cup
