Shakespeare 1975 DH help
Nice site you guys have here! I was given a Shakespeare 1975 model DH in fair condition, well used to be more accurate. Unfortunately the reel needs a few replacement parts due to wear and possibly lost parts. I have searched the web for schematics and find nothing, any one here have a parts break down or know where to find one? I did find a site that carries lots of vintage reel parts but listed as part numbers only. Any info from you guys would be appreciated! Thanks

Welcome! Your best best is to pick up a parts reel or three off eBay to get your parts. There may be someone with a schematic but it’s not routine to get one as part of the reel purchase of these early reels. Let’s see what shows up!

Re: Shakespeare 1975 DH help
I happen to have an original schematic in my hand right now. I can scan it but not until tomorrow morning, as I'm not at the scanner tonight. If you know the name of the parts you need, I can post the part numbers right now.
That is, unless someone else posts it in the meantime.

Great! Please scan it, I’m not really sure what parts I may need, I’m sure there’s a few I need on the crank side. The schematics would show me exactly the ones I need. Thanks!

Here you go...
When you figure out what you need, post it here in the "Wanted" section. Someone here probably has the parts you'll need, less costly than elsewhere.

Re: Shakespeare 1975 DH help
You're welcome. Now the manual is posted here for anyone else who may search for it in the future.
Now you need to post some pictures here.
BTW the receipt stapled to the corner says that I paid $18.88 on clearance on Dec. 2, 1980.
