Amazing what you uncover by just taking off that old line.

I didn't know that a polish job made the crank and nut reappeare! Man, your good!
Nice looking reel.

Thanks, Steve for the pictures, and Fred, I have the 900 apart in the parts tray right now waiting for the time to work on it. Harvey, you know as well as anyone how stocking those parts through the years pays off with a reel like this, and since they're interchangeable with Shakespeare, you may need to tap in to my stash some day! Thanks, Jim

Great Idea! Dig through your parts and find me two level wind assemblies for a Model "B". All I need is the line carrier. I can make the pins. I know you have a dozen extras!
