Greetings from West Palm beach Florida, have a modest collection of vintage Daiwa Ultra light reels 500c,700c 1000c and SS1 etc, recently was given a Dam Quick microlite reel in trade of parts and was so impressed by its quality that I acquired four more vintage dam quick reels, after removing the old grease and lubricating they functioned as smoothly as any modern reel I've owned, I digress, on a Finessa 280 reel recently acquired I'm in need of a part, on the anti reverse device I'm missing the lever part, someone had used a paper clip as a poor substitute to make it functional, I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction so that may acquire said part, appreciate any help I may receive and seasons greetings to all ...

Welcome to the neighborhood
Welcome to the forum, Paul --
PM me your address, and I will get a ball lever for your 280 -- off in the mail today.
N/C...
The 280 has a straight ball lever -- without the plastic red sleeve. There is not enough clearance for the sleeve.
It just threads in using a 4mm socket or nut driver.
Let me know if anything else is needed -- it is ready to go -- just need mailing info -- thanks...
Best Always,
Fred

Fred is a freak of nature, the inventory management algorithm in his brain rivals anything Walmart or DOD spent billions on. And a pretty nice dude to boot!
Welcome!
