Old reel parts

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.

Re: Old reel parts

About 10 years ago I wrote Abu Garcia about getting some new drag washers for a casting reel from the same era of your spinning reel. If Diawa hasn't thrown out their old parts, they may still have the parts laying around somewhere.

Call or write Diawa. I think often times emails sent through a company's website don't find themselves in the correct hands, or get ignored.

You best bet is a vintage reel repair or parts place. Good luck
