Martin i think you are on the right track. I have this DAM Quick 220N. that is quit old (the seventies i think) Yours must be some older, but look at the paint, and the metal you can see looks the same. Also the handle looks familar

Thumbs Up Thanks Thore, it is a very interesting reel and will look good with lures hanging off it. I might even service it and give it a fishClap

Now there's a blast from the past!

My old man had one of those which was his favourite for years.  In the end he simply wore the gears just about flat!

I still have most of the parts as I've been intending to find another for donor parts and get it working again.

His may have been slightly later. It had a single stem, a white hexagonal handle and no bolt through the spool.

Martin  I will try and check my European Reel books  and use Maxblue details and see what I can come up with.

The white handle came out in the 50's I believe it was a a larger saltwater model,  (surf rod use at the time)  have one somewhere,with reel pamphlet.

Slothy what is the model you are trying to repair I maybe able to help.

I have a large number  of DAM reels and part reels, a guy tossed in a number of parts when I bought five DAM reels off him.

A  bit heavy but a delight to use.

Regards John
