Why not just take the whole end plate containing the gears off one reel and put it on the other? Your end plates won't match, but it will be good for an experiment. This way you won't end up with a table full of parts that look almost alike............All the levelwind mechanisim is in the Left end of the reel and the frame. The right ends should be interchangeable....
