I dont see the reverse tension spring in his catalog but that doesnt mean he doesnt have any?
Chris, Do you know if Renzetti still makes their 4 spool thread carriage? I mentioned this to Fishaholic but cant find it now.
Their 8 spool is $89.00 so the 4 spool if still available shouldnt be more than $60?
If I were Dave thats what I would try and get ahold of.
I got the 8 spool back when I had my homemade wrapper and just fabricated a bracket to make it work. Then when I decided to go for it and purchase a new Clemen's lathe I didnt need the thread carriage so just traded it for an extra support and other stuff.
Dave!! Go for it!! You have seen with your own eyes how easy it is to back up and correct with the reverse tension setup.
