Schematic for DAM Quick 275 Super 2-Speed

[festus]

I remember a few days ago Fred or some of you other guys had never located a schematic for the Super 2 speeds.  Just happened to luck out and find it with some South Bend schematics.  http://www.reelschematic.com/wp-content/uploads/schematics/South%20Bend/SOUTH%20BEND-DAM%20QUICK%20SUPER%20MODEL%20275.pdf

   Thanks Festus.

Very cool Chester, I just made me a couple of copies...thank you!

Thanks Festus.

It's interesting that all the of the parts are numbered 270/#.

Are these interchangeable with 270 parts?

So South Bend was once in cahoots with D.A.M. Quick?  Makes sense. 

There used to be an old country store about 5 miles from here owned by some of my distant kin that sold groceries, fresh meat, appliances, furniture, pocket knives, fishing tackle, guns, etc. and also doubled as the post office.  You know, the type of place with the bench out front with the old men sitting whittling and smoking roll your owns, maybe secretly nipping on some corn liquor out of a Mason jar from a local bootlegger. That's where I saw my first DAM Quick reel.  They also had a good stock of South Bend spinning reels along with Mitchells and Abus.  One of the cousins who worked in the store was an avid fisherman and convinced my dad to buy a couple of the South Bends.  Probably 7 or 8 bucks apiece,  but caught their share of fish.

Several months later my dad found a D.A.M. Quick 220 at a wholesale house in Knoxville for my sixteenth birthday. Not sure how much that reel cost, probably triple the price of the South Bends.

Next year that reel will be 50 years old.

Thanks, Chester!

First one of those schematics I have ever seen.

That will help verify parts positions when putting Sheridan's back together.

Just printed one out to go in the DAM Quick Master Service Manual.

Best,

Most of them are Steve, with the exception of the housing, housing cover and gears, the rest of the parts will work on both reels.with that said, I don't see any issues if you wanted to use the 270 housing on the 275, all you'll need to do is add 2 holes at the same location for the dog and lever.
Interesting, I have the 270 part list and the numbers don't match with the 275.

Thanks, Chester!

Fred, I'm not sure this will help you on the washers, I have the layout on the bench

Now that I have the parts list I can call those by mane.
Place the driving wheel on the on the coupling box , part # 113 and 112. Follow with a Resitex washer- part #115, spring washer part#116, repeat that 2 more times .
The schematic is showing additional parts that my reels don't have, all I have is the 2 gears ( driving wheels) that sit on top of those washers. You will realize on which position they'll go in once you take a look on yours.

My reel is back together and working nicely. Of course I do not have the lever and the dog for the anti reverse, but it is shifting really nicely.

Thanks, Sal —

Also found the schematics for the DAM Quick 238 & 248 on the same site.

These were good DQ reels from the late 50's & early 60's.  Good quality, fairly obscure and hard to find in the US though.

I have around 15 of these, plus plenty of NOS parts — but never had schematics with part numbers.

The 238 is a lightweight metal reel in either grey or dark green crinkle (Herters had one from DAM in black crinkle). 

The 248 is larger and heavier, black crinkle —

Thanks to Chester, I now have those schematics.

Wish I had a A/R lever for you Sal, and a dog for that 275.  I will poke around...

If the dog is the same as the 270, I will have it — but do not think so.

Thanks Chester!

Best,

Fred

Glad the schematic got you folks headed in the right direction.  Finding it was just pure luck, I was looking for info on this South Bend spinning reel and ran across it by accident.

Great that you found other schematics Fred, those will come in handy.
I thank you for checking on the dog, but there is no need to. I have one coming, along with the eccentric and nut.

As I mentioned earlier the schematic is showing additional parts on the clutch assembly, unless it's taken at a bad angle.
I wanted to make sure I was correct, so I checked on another reel.  Between the gears there are  6 washers, 3 and 3...nothing else


Thanks Fred,

   Hey buddy, what does that South Bend look like under the hood? Is that model USA or Japan manufacture?

[Alto Mare]

Sorry Fred there are only 2 metal spring washers not 3. You might be looking for the third one because of me.
I looked at these reels a few times and I'm not sure why I said 3 and 3

That's a Japanese reel, Mike.  It reminds me a little of a Shakespeare maroon but looks nothing like it inside.

So South Bend was once in cahoots with D.A.M. Quick?  Makes sense.  

There used to be an old country store about 5 miles from here owned by some of my distant kin that sold groceries, fresh meat, appliances, furniture, pocket knives, fishing tackle, guns, etc. and also doubled as the post office.  You know, the type of place with the bench out front with the old men sitting whittling and smoking roll your owns, maybe secretly nipping on some corn liquor out of a Mason jar from a local bootlegger. That's where I saw my first DAM Quick reel.  They also had a good stock of South Bend spinning reels along with Mitchells and Abus.  One of the cousins who worked in the store was an avid fisherman and convinced my dad to buy a couple of the South Bends.  Probably 7 or 8 bucks apiece,  but caught their share of fish.

Several months later my dad found a D.A.M. Quick 220 at a wholesale house in Knoxville for my sixteenth birthday. Not sure how much that reel cost, probably triple the price of the South Bends.

Next year that reel will be 50 years old.

South Bend (Gladding Corp) was Dam Quick's US distributor from about 1966 on until Quick Corporation of America open their offices in Costa Mesa, CA in '69/'70.  V. Harasty Corp, Herter's & Cabela's also sold Dam Quick reels during that time. Some Dam reels have a small round red sticker with an S in the center. Many people think that stands for High Speed but it actually represented South Bend as an export. Dam's high speed models at the time were 221, 331 & 441, including Ns, and there are reels other than those 3 models that are still found with the little red S sticker on the side.  The high speed models had a silver & red sticker that said "High Speed".

I recall my Mitchell 400 in the mid-'60s had a red HS sticker.
Or, maybe, I dreamed it. All the same now to me
