Luxor / Crack reel question

[tlapinski]

i have an older luxor reel. it is the largest one, roughly the size of the VS300. i love the reel, but i am not too fond of the handle knob. does anyone know if any other knob can be used, or converted to fit, this reel? thanks.

Hey T.,

I know a guy who has a brand new one in the box with a spare spool if you want an extra.

I'll call him tonight about it.

I just tried the round coffee grinder handle from a Penn 706. Won't fit, the threaded end is too wide to fit thru the hole in the handle mount.

The only thing I can think of that might fit is, maybe the round coffee grinder handle from an old Mitchell 402 or 486/488. I don't have one handy to try on my Luxor for size.
