thanks John, I'll reach out to you.
lets see, a quick drive to the next town over or a scenic trip trip to beautiful Fall River.....this is going to be a tough choice.......

Jim. I go by Fall River every day to and from work, I'll drop them off along with mine if you would prefer.

I sent a couple of Quantums to Buckos' get it in by 1/15 and you save some $$$. I have been buying parts fromthem for years too for my Daiwa's

I also recommend Buckos.

Don't wait to long though.Come March/April time all the procrastinators are putting their reels in and the turnaround time can be quite long.

I know of 2 people who had very high end Jap spinning reels serviced at Buckos last offseason that were extremely upset at the lack of quality in service.I would recommend Edwards bait and tackle.

Jim:

I send all my Shimanos to "Shimano". $35 per reel and they do a complete overhaul. Go to: Repair Services

you will find a repair form (PDF). Just fill it out and send with $35. They repaired 2, 400s I have. Minor stuff such as the drag slipping and the level wind not working correctly. They went over and above what was needed and replaced some screws, etc.
