Pete,

While I can understand the sentiment, please don't cross post wanted requests.

I imagine finding a spare Alcedo spool (without buying a whole second reel) is like finding chicken's teeth. Might it be easier to take your existing spool to a local machine shop and have them make you a new one? I use old Mitchell 304 spinning reels. A solid aluminum spool would be a big upgrade on the Mitchell. It would even be possible to modify the Mitchell spool and put a real set of drag washers inside.

Does anyone think there would be enough of a market for spare spinning reel parts to encourage a custom machinist (a la Bill Archuletta) to offer his services?
