Post by: turboal on July 30, 2013, 07:32:47 PM
I managed to snag 2 114H SS main gears and 1 SS 114H pinion today on e-bay for a decent price.
getting parts together to rebuild my 2 reels.

I think those may be plain steel. I was about to pull the trigger on those just before Alan C. At black pearl gave me a call to let me know that the hex/SS gears will be a go. Now I just need a little patience until they are made. Those gears should do just fine. Good luck.

Even if they are plain steel, you're better off than brass. grease them up nicely and you're set.

Some ss is magnetic. The ss pinion Penn uses is magnetic.  Bob
