Just need to figure out how to put more than one pic per post!!!!!!!!!

Nice , just to let you know that sleeve comes apart from the bridge. There's a washer under there too. You just need to tap the pin out and the sleeve will come up from the bridge. I like laying my pieces out starting from right to left so when it goes back its like reading starting left to right.

Toyed around with making some mini power handles today. Took a pic off a google search of a penn jig master power handle.

Drew up a smaller version on cardboard then onto some aluminum stock. Will keep tweaking. Mini power knobs will be next.

Got 3 of 4 done. #4 was a complete train wreck. Broken gears and missing parts.

If anyone needs small parts off the reel let me know.....put everything in a bag for future parts use.

Homemade handle arms fit nicely.

First try at power handles in the shop was a major fail!...:p

May scour ebay and see what handles are out there...OR try and retro fit larger Bakelite knobs to handles I made...

Re: Penn Peerless 9.....
 

Power handles look good.

Re: Penn Peerless 9.....
 

I have some Penn power handles if you decide to go that way 10 bucks each

Re: Penn Peerless 9.....
 

Thanks. Still looking at ebay. This is a just a winter toy-around project. Dont even know how much I'll use them, but fun putting them together nonetheless.

Found Garcia Mitchell knobs that would fit the bill nicely for only 3 bux.

Kinda gonna be reel with mix-match parts from different brands out there.
