Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the clones are for the Shakespeare 2052? I need the screw that holds the level wind lever to the drive gear assembly. The screw is part X18 (left hand thread).
Thanks,
Steve

Have you tried a screw From a 2062 to see if it will fit?
Clones (same reels & parts) of the Shakespeare 2052 early versions (Es) Pflueger 550, HI 1945 & Eagle Claw ECL...later versions (Ds) Ted Williams III.
I should have a screw for you, Steve —-
Just need to look through some bins later this morning.

Thanks Fred. I got two of these reels for one parts reel price because they are both locked up and one needs a bail spring.
Here is the screw for that 2052, Steve —-
Along with a bail spring.
This is basic reel repair 101 —- errors that most of us have done at one time, or another.
We figure since the reel is cruddy inside —- that the 5/16" hex head steel screw is just stuck to the bronze main gear.
So we force it since we have it in a socket or a nut driver —- not realizing until too late that it goes on counter-clockwise and comes off clockwise.
Screw snaps off in the main.
When disassembling vintage reels —- always be aware of this possibility of a reverse-threaded keeper screw.
Tread carefully, because these are not easy parts to find anywhere, for any price — without some effort, and luck, and waiting.
Send me your address, and I will send it out tomorrow. N/C.
Best, Fred

Thanks Fred!!!! I have learned two valuable lessons. First, find a video or post that shows how to do what I am getting ready to do. Why reinvent the wheel. Second, with an old reel that has dried up/gunked up grease in it spray some penetrant in it to soften everything and scrape as much out as I can with toothpicks and/or cotton swabs before any teardown. I'll PM you my address.
Thanks again!,
Steve
