Hello everyone. I recently acquired some older Penn reels and found this site while looking for repair information. It is mind boggling how much information there is here !!
A little background on me... I retired a few years ago and started fishing in South Texas. After spending time on the party boats inland and deep sea fishing, I decided to get my own equipment. We have lots of folks that want to come down to visit and go fishing so I picked up a lot of 6 boat rods and reels. Now I need to get them cleaned up. As you can see, I started on a Penn 320 GTI.
Regards,
Hal

Good to have you here.  The 320 is a hidden powerhouse of a reel.  The gear train and drags are nearly identical to the better known powerhouse, the Special Senator 113H.  Bill
