Title: 2062 EF vs EG - What a difference a year makes!
Post by: rcmsangab on February 04, 2026, 08:08:47 PM
Hey all,

The donor reel came in from Fred (beyond generous) and I was surpised at the all the little differences between a 1964 and 1965 Shakespeare 2062 just in one little assembly (see first pic). It is almost like one of those spot the differences games. Also wondering what this black material on inside of faceplate is and is for? (next two pics)?

PS.found the other missing shim from the EF

Should have mentioned 2 versus 1 oil ports and threaded vs unthreaded main shafts as other differences.
