Record Spinning Reel Handle

Post by troy.wolf »

Hello All. I have a Record Spinning Reel that needs the handle. I'm new to collecting and restoring old fishing reels and was wondering if anyone here knows where I can source one. I have looked at Ebay several times and have not found one. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

What is the model number of the reel (300, 400, 500, etc)? If possible, post a picture. The Record reels are older, and ABU parts dealers may not have it.

I can't find a model number on it. I tried to add pictures twice now, but they don't load? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I went to Ebay hoping to find a model number, but none have one. They're all calling it a C Siegrist spinning reel.

There were a couple of different style handles for that reel depending on whether it was an early or a little later version. Dick Janak may have the correct handle but it may be just as cheap or cheaper to buy a rough older reel and cannibalize it for the handle & possibly other parts.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Thank you! That's what I was thinking too. I'll have to try that route. I just have to be patient and wait for a donor reel that isn't in good shape.

Hi, I have a couple of Record handles and parts from another that might work. You can send me a private message.
