Good evening.
What is the proper orientation of the belleville washers on this reel?

Also is it a common issue for the "cup" on the back of the star to come apart from the star? I was given a 975 that was in decent but non working conditon and I've never had one of these before. I ordered a new star.

the bellevilles are "()".

here's the schematic.  http://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/975.pdf

for the star, the pieces are pressed together and can loosen.  sometimes you can peen them back together, but they can loosen up and fall apart easily again.

Looks like you can order a new star if needed...

Thanks. I looked at the schematic and couldn't tell that there was any orientation for the washers. I figured it was () but wasn't sure. There was also an "extra" thin wavy washer in there. It was between the star and the handle?
I'm glad I just ordered a new one......I also ordered a Torque handle for it ;D

Sometimes folks add a wavy washer between handle and star even though the reel doesn't call for it...because they saw it on other models and assumed it was missing.
