Has anyone had any luck sourcing any parts for Grice and Young pin reels, or had any success getting them repaired, have a Coq D'Or that is in need of some attention?
-
Have you tried Mike's reel repair or even tried contacting Milner reels
-
Thanks Geff, I am mainly wondering if anyone has had any luck sourcing parts right now, will probably work out cheaper to buy another one than get it repaired, am looking for a replacement cap.

Well if you are in the lower mainland then just drop by Mike's reel repair with the reel and see if he has a cap. You would be amazed what kind of parts he has. If he does not have the right part he may just have one that will work. I have done it with another reel that I had. I had an Avon Royal and was able to use a part from a different reel that fit.

Thanks for the info I'll check it out next time I'm out that way!

Go to UK Ebay for this is where Grice and Young's home is. I have bought numerous fishing equipment from England on Ebay's web site.The shipping is reasonable too.

That's where a lot of my reels come from too, never seen much in the way of parts though, maybe a beater parts reel will show up soon.

Second the postage too, half the price of Canada post and often in your hand in 5 days.
