Does anyone know what type of Senator this is ?
the pictures are too small. They won't open larger then a thumbnail size.
The top 2 looks like the GT or GT2 series as there's probably a line guide with those reels. The last????
Ditto. The top two pictures are from a 320 or 330 GTi; only the bottom is from from a Senator. Even eBay sellers should know better...

I'm not too sure. I recently got a Jigmaster 501 that was listed as a 500 and a 500 "for parts" that needed the left side bearing backed up to free up the "jammed spool" and now it works perfectly. I also saw a chromed spool advertised as an aluminum one.
I have also learned that "vintage" means over priced worn out gear.

I've also seen such things on ebay. Several months ago I saw a 349 Master Mariner with a Newell Wahoo kit for sale. The seller had it listed as a Senator. He never answered when I questioned it, but later re-listed it correctly. I don't feel I've ever been "burned" on ebay, but ALL of my purchases needed new drag washers. It's something I expect to happen.

All my 501's have 500 LH side plates fitted and some have 500 RH side plates too.
Schematics show 500LH side plates on 501 reels.
yeah, 300 graphite series.
