Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Looking for a part for a Lexa 300H baitcaster.

Part is a Frame Plate, I believe 51 on the schematic I'm looking at.

Part Number is: 550-1630.

Thanks for your assistance!

Checked Daiwa Aus for you, long gone off the 'puter inventory was the advice.

Yes, that has been my results also.

Do appreciate the effort tho.

Guess the only alternative is a doner reel.

Guess the manufacturers are much more interested in selling new products than in providing repair parts for existing reels, obviously much more profitable. In order to keep my Shimano TTS 50W's going for a long time I had to buy "for parts only" reels on ebay.

did you try southwest parts in dallas, texas?

No, but I will.

Thanks Alan!

I am trying to remember where but I have purchased semi hard to find Diawa parts from a place in Florida.  PM me if Alan's sourse does not work.

Possibly platinum parts in Tampa? (Formerly "Dave's parts")
No luck there either I asked today.

daiwa is getting worst than shimano on sourcing parts, no worm gears for 300 lexa since months, along few other parts that I had bad luck getting them, actually I returned few daiwa lexas back to their owners.

since years ago, I recommend my friends to get Penn reels if they can, specially if they want me to service and repair their reels, I tell them that Im pretty sure that in 5-10 years we will continue to find the parts for the 113h reels, for the new fathoms, international, etc BUT not so sure about daiwa, shimano, avets or accurate reels.

That is the place Jason.

Tried Alan's place in Grapevine, Texas.  No dice.

I'll just have to keep looking around.

Thanks to everyone who's trying to help me.  Appreciate it a lot.
