Title: ocean city 210 drag washers
Post by: huangfg on December 02, 2018, 04:25:54 AM
any suggestions on finding these?  they are  3/4" x 3/8" x 2 mm thick.  they look like leather with bits of metal in them, falling apart.
The reel is excellent, you don't even have to take it apart to change the washers, just remove the handle and star drag.
Or can someone cut them for me with carbon fibre?  or should I use teflon?  need 3.   Thank you.

If you would like the original ones — here are (3) brand new ones from the OC bin — your measurements are exactly correct.

$7 + $3 shipping for lower US.

PM me your shipping information if you want them.

Best & Welcome!

Just checking back on loose ends —

Since I never heard back from the poster after posting a response 2 days ago — I guess he found these 60 year old new factory OC washers somewhere else —

Maybe Walmart or Big 5??   ;D  ;D  ;D

I will toss them back in the bin.

Funny, how on the Internet — a few folks don't think that a simple response — yes, no, or maybe — or that common courtesy matters much...

Just my opinion.

Best,

Fred

Fred - 'standards'  have evolved over time - please, thank you, common in our day have all but disappeared :( Courtesy, with many of the young ones, has all but gone. Sometimes I do despair - but some of the younglings in my tribe show some promise - I try to live in hope :D

Hi Fred,

Sorry been busy doing poll working in San Diego... but its just about over now.
Wow, those are exactly it!!  should I put Cal's universal reel grease on them? 

I didn't think I'd get any replies so I ordered some Teflon washers about the same size...

Thanks for taking the pics.. I will buy them from you.
