Thanks buddy, I really struggle with technology, I'm the sort of guy that likes to plug it in and it works, it is said that technology is supposed to make life easier!!!!!!

Mike.

Frank and Mike, glad you were able to figure this out together.  I'll be on the lookout for these browser differences.

To respond to Mike's comment, "plug it in and it works,"   there was a Microsoft system started in Windows 95 call "Plug and Play."  Well it worked so imperfectly that it became know in IT as "Plug and Pray."   It works much better now, but there was a lot of pain along the way.

A saying that I have developed after working in IT half my life is "Why costs extra."   If you want something fixed, try this and that, and a,b,c (in all combinations).   If you want to know why something worked after finding the solution...   well, it may not be worth the effort

It seems to me the whole purpose of this site is to share & learn (& maybe have some fun); one is giving, the other is taking, but if there are no givers, there won't be any takers either after a while & vice versa.  Anything anyone can do to help with the communication process--we'll all come out ahead.

Agreed! Is there something that needs more attention now? /Joe

Hi Guys,

Once again I thank you for all the help you have given me with posting photos, because I was totally confused.

Mike.

That worked, and that is a sweet little reel there!

That is one reel.  The stock Charter Special parts on the right were replaced with Alan Tani's handle arm, handle, and frame.  This, along with minor internal mods pushes the reel from a stock levelwind designed for mono, to a topless nonlevelwind suited for braid.

Ughh, where will it end? I've been buying like crazy, and that really perked my interests haha..

The reply you sent a bit ago, which starts out "Just tried a test..." did have a pic of that Senator at the end of it; was that one you attached?

Don't know how that happened, after I put my text in the post I just put the file in the attach box clicked preview and only my text was visible so clicked post and that was that?

Stumped, like I said there is no attach button or choose file showing anywhere.

Yep, for,the charter special I started out wanting to upgrade the drag. Then I saw the handles and thought, yeah, larger handles! The frames looked really cool and when there gone they are gone so I thought, yep, I want that too. I have two of the charter specials so I bought two sets of upgrades.

I spent the money but they will be overachievers now. I'm not sure how the stock drag spec is 33lbs but that's what shimano speced. I did the upgrades today, set the drag at 10lb and it is smooth as can be. I can slap the drag lever up to the strike position at any time and I'll get the same 10 lbs of drag, every time.
