Heddon Dominator

[Dr. Rob]

ATTN: John Elder, Salty Dawg and Ron Lewis, and folks who were asking about spare parts for Heddon Dominators,

There was a thread a while back about it, but info was scarce because old contacts had dissipated. (John, was that you?)

The Allcoast Board archives are back. Go there and do a search for Dominator. A ways down the page, there are a few posts about it, along with a repair shop (Ken's) and other stuff. One of those guys was aka Dominator Guy from Old Paw's board, I think.

Sorry for the wishy-washy post and less-than-lucid info. I just hate loose ends, and this ties some of them up.

Doc.

Thanks for the help, Dr. Rob...interesting bit of history. didn't see a specific reference to Ken's for repairs, etc, but it might be Ken's Reels in Oceanside, CA? He's a good guy and only appr. 20 miles away. I'll have to call him and ask about the reel.

thanks to Ronel Lewis, i have a close-up of the lost knob on the clicker, so I can probably get one made. However, if I can find a parts source, the original would certainly be better. LMK if you have a good line on parts or know who I can pester!

Yeah, Ken's in Oceanside. Whatshisname... Corbett? Sure, give him a call. Don't know him m'self. Who else to pester? Well, SoCal has a few reel folks... Kerry would be good if he has the time; he has a decent machine shop. Cal, if he has the time. Hawk would be great, but he has no lathe. Myself, but I live far away. Really though, any home shop machinist should be able to poke one of those together for you.

Hm, 'bout that picture.. Lemesee?

Mike Stallings, in North Hollywood. That's a good one too. Let me know if you already know these people or if you need more contact info.
