Bail springs are the only thing I've tried that work, but I bet there are more.

Very few, Joe β€”

Only (9) basic small parts out of about 77.

They are completely different reels.

Fred

Handles sometimes, bail springs sometimes, bails do not.

Of course, any problem can be "adjusted" with the proper application of filing, hacksawing, drilling, grinding β€”or high explosives 💥💥💥.

Once you compare both types of reels side by side, and the interior mechanisms β€” you will see the differences and difficulties of adapting 90% of the parts.

Best,

Fred
