As you have probably noticed, I don't just collect reels, I also collect parts. Especially the ones that are hard to find. When I see them at a good price, I grab them. Here are a couple of shots of some of the parts that I've been working on for two days:
[I pulled the sleeve on every bridge, cleaned the parts, re-greased the sleeve and reassembled. There are lots of sleeves here, I was tempted to go with ss sleeves, but then I would have had to set up a payment plant to Alan :-\. I used Simple Green to clean the parts and break down the old grease. I used it straight out of the bottle, not diluted with water. I hit the gear sleeve with some air afterwards.
My wife threatened me that if I keep stinking up her laundry room , she's going to decorate my coffin with those parts :o
Sal
Awesome Sal - well done.
Now I know who is getting all the parts,great collection.
Sal,
You're sick... and I love ya for it!!!
If Alan made a photo album that's the centerfold.
You may also have one of the greatest wives of all time,
Dom
Sal
At least you have a laundry room. I keep getting parts delivered yesterday was 2 packages & today 3 packages. I lost track of Plano Boxes with Parts. We live in a 2 Bed Room Coop. My work bench is the Armish made Oak table.
Is your new nick name Bridge Plate? Now I know who to call for some parts. ;D
You have a very loving wife or is she out of town this weekend? Buy, clean and put away before she comes home?
Sal,
IF my wife saw this bridge/sleeve/gear display in the garage, we'd be on a 10 day Western Caribbean Cruise so fast it would make your head spin, with me walking behind her saying, "Sweetheart, I can explain... I can explain"
You are a man truly committed to his hobby! What a Photo!!!!

Sal,
Great collection, but I can not tell what they all fit. How about a little (or Long) list.
John
Too much to itemize John, sinse they're not for sale I don't have a need to. To give you an idea, most of the parts on that picture are not available today. If you need something just let me know, but I'm not sure if I could part with it :-\ . Later buddy, Sal
OK, I am not looking for anything, I was just wandering what reels they all fit.
John
Not saing that John, you already know that I'm here for you if you need something. Off the top of my head I have some 3-349/3-99/3-10-1-118/3-910/3-970/3-990/5-970/5-990/3-210/3-310/3-320/3-330 and a lot more....
An abridged list would do ;)
Sal,
I have a 990 and just purchased a couple of 970's and a 980. Do you think a 5 stack will fit in the 970 or 990 main gear.
Thanks for the info,
John

John, I don't know about the 980, but on the 990 yes I believe you could. you need to get the thinner material though.
The 970 I believe it's just too shallow :-\.
I was amazed about that gear on the 990, compared to the 113H that gear is 5mm wider and the wall is 1mm thicker...nice gear.

They have a reality TV program about you Hoarders!!!!!!!!
Dial 911 and turn yourself in.... Good for the soul.. :-)
WOW!!!!!
I would love to come over and see your place one day Frank ;D. I noticed that everytime you post pictures, they're always aimed at the same location. Knowing on how many reels you service, I'm wondering what you have stashed on the other side of the apartment :-\ ;D.
LOL.....
I have reduced my gear in the last 2 yrs to basics...??
Donated most of it (up to 10 reels at a time) to fishing programs and sites..
down to about 26/28 Reels and about the same in Rods....
Nothing like some of you guys and your collections..!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
I mostly Bass fish from my Float Tube now, few outing with friends on Bass boats.
Some offshore stuff with the gang, Havnt been to Sierras, long range or Cabo in years. :-(
Slowing down in my old age.....
But thanks for the vote of confidence buddy..... ;D 8)
.
You're still a young man Frank ;).
Far out Sal! I like the way you have lined them all up too.
WTG mate! ;D
