OCEAN CITY PARTS

[Riy2018]

as per ORCA
Ocean City No.923 Reel
The 923 Topsail is the same as the 922 above but had a larger spool capacity and would hold 250 YDS of line.
my reel has a different handle and missing star!

the Ocean City "Topsail" No.922,  a No.922F - came with no star.
Im confused, so many OC variations

Chris is Dead  on Spot with the Starless Drag on your Ocean City 923 Level Wind Reel

The  Stars will NOT interchange  with Penn on those ( I say NOT but ingenuity and  Brazing, Drilling and re-threading I suppose would be possible )  
BUT if you want to change out your Ocean City to a Regular Drag Star it can be done with Ocean City Parts. .

Some Models you will need to change the Sleeve and Spacer to make it right though .
The 933 would  have been made from early 1950 to around 1958 .During that span a lot of changes were made and some improvements as in a Fluted Spool , Bigger Handle and Stainless Gear on the level wind idler . Without seeing the other side I would venture your Reel to be mid 50's
They messed up in my opinion by removing the adjustable Level Wind Tensioner .Later Models before the Demise of the Company   don't have the Metal Ocean City  Badge but a CHEAP STICKER with TRUE TEMPER on it .
Those ARE BULLET PROOF REELS in my opinion .

Here is a 113 with the Starless Set-UP

the Ocean City "Topsail" No.922,  a No.922F - came with no star. Sad
Im confused, so many OC variations

The F Designated Fresh Water Reel Seat No Rod Clamp and a little different shape to fit Regular fishig Rods
They either had a Star Drag or could be Ordered with the Starless Option .Otherwise same Reel .

 Hard to see the badge on that one ....   But  it sure looks like a 922 tear drop starless 200 yard reel .
   Another give away is the handle !!!

I enlarged the photo and it is a 933 .
If he will post a pic of the bottom foot and the other side plate we can date it better .
The Handle is what comes with the Starless Drag Reel  as the Regular handle does not conform to the curve on the Drag adjustment .

another fresh image.
did some cleaning.

[Wompus Cat]

Much Better now we can see what is missing .
The Stop Lever .
The handle screws on the  on this version (it IS the Drag Adjustment )then the stop lever is situated within your selected Drag Resistance you want  then the Retainer Bolt.
I doubt I have one but will look and see .Of course others may have a lever  otherwise you will have to convert it back to Star drag and that will require additional parts .

If you need a star, I think I have one.  Dominick

Here are a few OC parts —

If the stop lever Henry is referring to is here — you are welcome to it — N/C.

But I do not know what it looks like.  Maybe Henry will help us.

Best, Fred

[oldmanjoe]

    I don`t see one !!!!

[foakes]

If someone could post a photo of the part needed — I and others could look through our other OC stashes of parts.

Best, Fred

[Wompus Cat]

Here tis!

[Riy2018]

this part is missing!.

[oldmanjoe]

   That`s the adjustable one , maybe harder to find than the fixed one .

may be I can use
The Ocean City "Starless" Drag control No.795.  The new "Starless" drag came out in 1957 and was named the Sportsman's Drag control No.795. Ocean City touted it as the "first major improvement on salt water reels in nearly 50 years".
