Here is some information I have gleaned in the search for a reel or repair of my 251. Shimano Corp. suggested I call Queens Creek Co (804-725-3889) as they carried "vintage reel" parts. I called and was told they do carry a limited supply of parts, but need the the model and part #. If you don't have a schematic for your reel call Shimano at 877-577-0600 they can fax or mail you one.
