Thanks guys! It looks like Mike's has the parts I'm looking for.

Can someone here reccomend a good source for old reel parts? I have an old Diawa spinning reel that I bought in '75 or '76 that I'd like to fix, but can't find parts for.

I'm tool poor myself, so I use a Dremel tool and a sanding drum for most of my rough shaping.

Dang, everything happens to Bill, the poor guy is just jinxed. I've been fishing almost as long as he has without ever piercing my nose or breaking or losing a rod (knock on wood)....

Has anyone tried the "water slide" clear decal paper? You can buy it in sheets and it works with laser-jet printers. I haven't used the stuff since my plastic model making days as a kid, but it seems like it would be super thin and fairly easy to work with.
