Hello all. I have a older Micron drive gear with a problem. Does anyone know if this can be fixed. These are like unicorns to find. Thank you.

You'll need a replacement part. You'll probably have to scavenge one of another reel. Hopefully you can find the same reel as a parts reel on eBay or maybe an ORCA member has one. They show up from time to time.

If you can narrow down the manfacturing date, maybe you can find a beater in
this unicorn graveyard .

Here is the serial number of the reel . Is there a source on the web for date of manufacture for Alcedo ? I have looked but no luck.

If you are lucky Dick Janak may come along shortly and possibly have one laying around in his parts drawer. Or you could contact him
here.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
