I bought a mint condition USA made penn peer 309 from the 60's and it is in need of a worm shaft for the level wind as the current one keeps binding up on one side, after looking at it I have seen that this may have been doing it years ago hence why it has seen bugger all use. I have got my local tackle shop trying to source the part but thought I would ask here just in case he has trouble locating one so I can have a back up plan so I can get this old girl running and give it the use it deserves. Old part number is 42-209 new part number is 1183346

I have a worm but no idea what it's off. Should be a Penn but all I can do is give you a photo.

I tried the brand new pawl that was supplied and it did the same thing and you could see where it had been catching on the worm drive as it goes to track back, the local shop I deal with has located a brand new worm from the penn supplier and is now on the way to his shop so hopefully it solves the issue so I can get it out fishing.
