STLHEAD, I was lucky enough to buy 2 Shimano 201 bantam SG's about 16 years ago, fished them until they didn't work anymore, then I found a guy in Sumner, at the Antique Angler who rebuilt them both for me, now they work perfectly again. He might be able to get your black bantam working again. The number is 863-0934, best of luck
