Penn 209 question

[N II Deep]

I did a little barter with Ken and inheirted two Penn 209 reels.

on the side of the reels they are missing a couple of screws.

I pulled a couple more out just to see if I could match them up at the local hardware store. no luck. the thread is very close to a 4-40 thread, but the machine screws out of the reels would not fit onto a 4-40 nut.

I don't think they are metric as the major o.d. is 3.095mm with a pitch @ 0.445mm

Did Penn spec out a special thread?

if it is special do you know of a source where I could buy?

Does any one know what thread size these screw would be?

I have two different length that I am missing.

one is 7.45mm thread lenght that goes into the mounting frame bottom side of reel.

the other is 9mm thread lenth and goes into the three cross spacer bars.

any help would be great.

I have 6 of the 209s that I bought new about 25 years ago. They are a decent reel. Check with Tuna Tom (Ludington), I'll bet he has some. Some of the small Mom and Pop bait shops also repair reels and have parts.

I wish I knew the answer for the size and thread.

I downloaded a 209 parts list and have the screw numbers from that.

let me know when you get your list together and we can get a hold of Tuna Tom's.
