strats'n'stripers Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi Guys, Recently purchased one of the reissued 706’s. On the second night of use the anti-reverse failed. I figured a spring popped off or broke no biggie, fix it in the morning. I opened it up to find the post that supports the AR dog has broken right off. My question is, do I have any choice but to replace the entire body of the reel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fishr Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 @Alto Mare please step in and work your magic! Tony @PENN Fishing do you see this? Replacing the body is an option, but I know I’ve seen this repaired. I have also seen double dog ARs, I just don’t remember where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With cross border shipping etc. I decided it was easier and more cost effective to fix it myself. I had a flea market 704 as a parts reel and canabalized the frame from it. 10min change over and it’s good to go. Thank you for your reply.

I’m sure @Alto Mare has a solution when he checks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fishr Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 It would also make some cool fish tank decor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already in the retired reel parts bin. The 706 had a gear bearing in the side plate, but the re-purposed 704 frame used a brass bushing instead. Pretty sure it’s a generational thing and doesn’t seem to affect function. D1fishr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on a different site Sal has been dealing with some health issues and will be taking a break from the forums for a while. Probably not the best thing to keep tagging him. tony D1fishr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
