Post by: alantani on February 03, 2013, 08:00:16 AM
i'm not sure which one this is.  can anyone hazard a guess? 

QuoteHi Alan
Have an old Fin-nor reel which needs some replacement screws, I see you have the schematics but Im not sure of the model number
I attach the pictures of the reel could you let me know the model, think its 60WFNA
Cheers, Kim

I make it to be a 75FNA two-speed, one step up from the 60WFNA.

(Four handle screws and the roundish gear housing indicate so)

Really, there should be a number on the downward edge of the left sideplate that hints to the model designation.

Many thanks for the info. Any idea as to where parts for this reel and a Finnor Ahab can be bought.

No.

Or well, maybe Ebay.

And a hardware store for screws. IIRC the screw dimensions are usually specified in their schematics.

They also do Penn Parts but I like dealing with scott's better. If this doesn't work I will call a friend in N.H. where he got the spring for my OFC20

I really don't know but if he doesn't have the part there are 2 more places on Long Island that might.
