Hi All! I have a 1494 Pflueger Medalist, circa 1970s. Markings are Pflueger 1494 DA Made In USA. Many years ago I had to grind down what is on the parts list as #12, the Crossplate - the part that mounts to the reel seat. The reel and plate are still fully functional, but I was wondering if anyone had a source for parts. I would like to replace the plate and get the reel in original condition. I have the parts list and can get the specific part number. The Orvis equivalent at the time was their Madison, and actually they may be worth a call as sometimes parts lay around for years. Anyway, maybe someone here knows whether parts are still available, or maybe I just need to keep an eye out for an old one on Ebay and cannabilize parts.
Thanks in advance!
