I've noticed that on a lot of the examples, too. Interestingly enough, all three of the reels I've got have pretty nice knobs on them.

Dug out my three & took a quick photo of the handle sides. One shows some wear on the crank and the knob is a little dull but overall the knobs are in nice condition on all three. None have been serviced yet. The reel on the left has seen a quite a bit of use but works as it should. The other two don't show much use at all.  :D

;D    I made one more trip rod and button .    The smallest set screw that i can find local was a stainless steel 6/32 Allen socket .    It was a little bigger than i wanted , but it works and it is a lot easier to handle !!!

A 1/16 Allen wrench for the setscrew , and it helps to remove a trip rod .  It fits in the center shaft .  I found that you do not have to tear down  the shafts to replace the rod .    All that is need is the set screw and spring remove from the center gear .  The ball bearing will stay in there pockets.

    I believe you have a broken piece in your reel ,the Allen wrench inserted from the handle side will push it out .    Insert the new shaft ,spring and set screw ,than the button .

Two  pictures . First one is your trip rod and button and you can see that the set screw is just exposed .    Second picture. is what i am sending you .  and there is a piece of broke trip rod that i think is in yours .

  They do look in good shape .  I think the knob screw rusts and breaks the knobs on the i have seen .

 I started to put 8 pound momo line on the spool today .    After a couple yards i checked the drag.
   It was jerky , it was like compression strokes on a small gas engine .
 I popped off the serrated cup and found 3 belleville washers and 1 keyed washer .

  After looking at the schematics #18 is two belleville and I don`t know what # 19 is.
 When i blow up the picture , it is thick with a knurled look to it .    Any guesses what it is .

Took all 3 of mine apart today, Joe, and they're all the same as yours, and in the same configuration as you have laid out. Bottom is dome down to the spool, second is big diameter down to bottom washer big diameter with dome up and top washer is dome down to second washer dome and the keyed washer goes against top washer big diameter. I'm wondering if the bottom washer dome digs into the bottom of the spool cavity?

  I have tried all the combinations < > <   , > < >  ,<<< , >>>  .   I don`t think there is any digging going on .  I even played with a resitex washer from 330 quick spool , front and back .
  The best so far is spool < > < resitex keyed washer .

I also checked little Benora's panes. Also the same arrangement.



The reelshematic is from the larger Benora Coast.



So I checked the discs right away and they fit, as the reel shematic shows.
The thick disk is made of rubber.

Any chance a carbon disk in a well chosen spot would help?

  Thank You Walter .    That makes perfect sense now , looking at the wrong schematic ...

I've never cared much for the cone shaped or wavy metal washers in drag configurations.

If there's no eared washers I'd think spool, carbon, keyed washer, then the wavy ones.

The flat keyed washer needs to be on top directly under the drag knob.
