Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Can an older penn 525 magnum ( with mag slider, and no brakes) be converted over to a newer model? ( with dual mags and brakes?

here is the schematic for the older reel.  https://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/525mag.pdf

here is the schematic for the newer one.  https://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/525mag2.pdf

without having the reels in hand, it looks like the answer is no.  all of the parts are different.  also, the newer version takes four larger side plate screws.  the old version uses three large screws and one small one that his hidden. 

my guess is that they are not compatible.
