Wanted: Alcedo Micron Part needed, connecting rod

Post by karlkortemeier »


Hey guys, just joined ORCA. Ive got a small collection of old reels. I just restored an Orvis bamboo fly spin rod that was my grandfather's. There was on Alcedo Micron in the mix but its connecting rod is broken. Does anyone have a parts reel for sale or this part? I would also be interested in a decent user Alcedo Micron, or Orvis 50a. I am not worried about cosmetics. Thank you

Ouch! Good ole pot metal🙄. That’s such a major part, i fear you have a nice donor reel! Usually, you will find them missing a handle or emblem, so you have a good chance of using two to make a good one!

By the way, welcome to the group!

Dick Janak sometimes has an extra Alcedo part lying around. If he does he'll let you know when he stops by.

BTW, welcome to ORCA!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
