Title: 923C Levelwind Reel missing oill cap and spring
Post by: sandbar on May 25, 2026, 10:39:07 PM
I received this reel in a lot in which the reel that I was interested in was high enough in value to purchase the 4 reels. The prize was an ABU 505. 2 reels were just junk. This 923C seems solid and it cleaned up well.
The non-handle side oil cap and spring are missing. Are there any reliable sources for Ocean City parts out there, or does anyone happen to have these parts?
Thank you
-Steve

Hi Steve —-

Got a small stash of old new Ocean City & True Temper Conventional reel parts. 

Matched up a new oil port, off-side spool cap & tension spring with a OC 923.

Will send out to you tomorrow.

Already sent out the Daiwa 500C last Friday.  So this will go by itself.

N/C.

Best Regards, Fred

I have a 922, almost the same. Very solid little conventional. What's the purpose of the fluted spool?
