Seems like there is a guy on eBay that specializes in Lew Childre (Lew's Speed Spool) reels and parts.

The parts you need, AR bearing/drag washers more than likely will match up with currently available parts.
If the AR bearing is Shimano-style you might be able to carefully push it out, disassemble and clean it. Sometimes someone errantly packs grease into these which can ruin the AR effect. Very lightly oil these AR bearings (or run them dry if no salt exposure)

A digital caliper is very useful when matching up parts for out-of-production reels. Here's the one I have......they put them on special every now and then for 1/2 price or free with an order.
