Here is a place I have gotten a few old parts from.

Since I am retiring in a few months, I am going to get back into fishing after a 30 year layoff.
I am currently rebuilding an old boat and refurbishing my old tackle.
The problem is I have a probably 30 year old Lew"s Speed Spin 1 reel that somehow down through the years I lost the spool
and drag assembly. I guess it's just nostalgia, but I would like to get this reel operational again.
I have sent Lew's an email, no response yet. And searched through Ebay, with no results. So any help with a parts source or alternate parts would be appreciated.

Try your local tackle store, preferably one that does reel repair. They might have parts laying around.

Don't get your hopes up, but here's another place to check:

If I've been out of the game for thirty years, though, I wouldn't let finding old reel parts hold me back. There are a lot of great reels on the market now.

Oh I am not going to let it stop me.... I could probably buy a new reel for less than repairing the old one, but being an old industrial maintenance man I enjoy repairing things. By the time I get through with this old boat I could probably buy a new one....LOL. Thanks for your help
Your not lying with that statement!!! My boat rehab is currently $29 under budget. Problem is, I still need to get some big ticket items!
However, I am enjoying it.
