Ocean City 809 9/0 reel

Post by fishhead »

Where can I find a schematic on an Ocean City 809 9/0 reel? I can't get the eccentric spring back in and I don't want to break it.

Here is a Ocean City 10/0 installation. I would think it is the same as a 9/0.

Thanks Mike. No wonder that eccentric spring did not fit. It was severely bent 90 degrees on the end that goes into the hole in the head plate. For now I used a Penn eccentric spring that works just fine until my friend who is a blacksmith, machinist and mold maker comes over the house to see if he can straighten out the Ocean City eccentric spring. All is well in old reel collectors world for now. Until the next hurdle to leap over.
