I am not a reel collector as I don't have any old reels, but recently I became the owner of a Pennell #40 reel. The reel needs a good cleaning, but it seems to be sound mechanically and operates OK as far as I can tell. The reel is missing the oil bearing cap on the crank side of the reel. This is the only thing I have found to be wrong with the reel. I was wondering if any of you might have a bearing cap off an old junker reel that you might part with for a fee. If so, you can PM me off-line.

Thanks.
