i think what happened was that someone tried to seat the let side plate using the side plate screws.  the plastic is not reinforced in any way and it likely just cracked under the pressure.  there was a clear attempt to glue it back together.  i have serviced reels for this gentleman before and was concerned that it was something that i might have done long ago, but the reel had no trademarks of my work.  it even had the old green smoothie drags. 

if anyone has a side plate that they would like to sell, i imagine that the customer would consider it!

Alan, I have an extra 970.  Not sure what it's worth. Any idea?

alantani

i will forward your contact info to him.  it's an easy fix, so i'm sure he would be able to take care of it.  thanks!!!!!!

Alan: I think that belleville Washer was work hardened and that is why it shattered.

or squidder hell...... 

yeah, finished seven reels, still had two that went into body bags, need two 146 spools and a 140 or 146 right side plate.  if anyone has spares, please let me know.  i know this is nearing blasphemy, but for me some of the hardest reels to get right have been the old penns.  maybe i'm too picky.  you know how having 4 wheel drive just means you get farther out before you get stuck.  between the expanding or brittle bakelite, the corroded chrome and the aftermarket parts, these old reels can be an absolute nightmare.  every reel had a different problem (or three), every reel needed a different solution, every reel had to come apart and back together at least three times, and every reel took at least an hour.  didn't finish until after 9pm last night, so, yeah, an hour each.  still gotta get these rigged.  i'll be happy to ship out the first seven. 

if anyone has a spare 146 spool, i need two, and a right side plate.  thanks!  alan

Getting the dog & spring to stay in place upon re-assembly on the older Penns can be a challenge. That's when they'll cry uncle and pay up, lol.

That's funny,the only reels I'm confident fixing are penns and newells. the 1st time I tried a trinidad I took the star off and little clicker thing went flying. Packed them up and sent them to you
Do what you can with that you have where you are

i'm feeling like my chi is not strong today.  all three reels had gear problems.  nothing is lining up right.  i've seen plenty of progears with gear issues, the pacificas being the worst, but it's rare to have an old ambassadeur with these problems.  this particular one was dredged up from the bay, so a new gear set, drags and bearings are already more than the reel is worth.
