Title: Calcutta 700S
Post by: ncstolat1 on November 18, 2013, 04:12:20 PM
Having trouble reassembling Calcutta 700S.  In particular the free spool push button won't depress after I assemble it.  Any ideas or internal pictures?

I've done that w/ smaller baitcasters -- no big deal (after momentary panic ::) ), as long as you didn't try to force anything...  not sure if I can word this correctly:  you probably reassembled w/ the spool release mechanism engaged/disengaged position mismatched between reel & sideplate.  just open it up & make sure both sides are set the same, before you put it together.

I guess a simpler way to put it is: open it up; reassemble w/ the release button down; it should pop right up when you turn the handle & function normally, thereafter
