Got some parts from Tom — owner of Cortez Conversions.

And Randy — owner of Vintage Offshore Taclkle.

About time to put these together.

Will end up with —

20/0 Senator

Got most of what I need — however, I'll need to source a few parts — but with the help from some of our members, that won't be an issue.

The 20/0 had over 3 1/2 minutes of free-spool with no line — and just a hand spin.

These products from Tom at Cortez — and Randy at Vintage Offshore — are perfect in every respect.

Let us know. From memory, I only have; different size Penn screws, yolk & springs, eccentric & springs, maybe an e. jack, and some different size c-Tex washers and some 98-60 size spring washers(all new parts). Hard for me to put new stuff into an old rebuild, when my used stuff still works.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I like the green and red knobs. Are those from Sal? They're going to look great on those reels.

Red crank was a gift from Sal —

Green was a gift from Lou —

I miss both those gentlemen a lot. I hope Lou is doing well wherever he is these days.

It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.
