Reel Service Tools help.
Submitted by exp2000 on Tue, 2014-04-22 13:55
Hi.
I am down from Broome in the big smoke for a few days and would like to talk to pro reel service techs in regards to sourcing specialist tools for reel servicing.
Looking for
"strong genuine professional" dental pics,
miniature bearing pullers and
miniature circlip pliers and the like.
Does anyone know of any odd second hand or speciality shops that might stock these?
So far I have tried RC shops and Jaycar but not much luck.
I have left a message with John Devitt and am hoping he will call back.
TIA,
Brett from Broome.

Now that's a name I haven't heard of in years , used to send him down all my reels once a year for a service, did a great job at a great price, think has given it away now (reel servicing that is)

It wont help in the short term, but if you hop on www.alantani.com you will find alot of guys in the states (and some locals to Perth) who may be able to point you in the right direction.
Awesome website.
I did then the best that I knew how. When I knew better, I did better.

Yes, I am a member of Alan Tani's site and sometimes order stuff.
Have tried messaging one forum member.
With such a huge local population, I am hoping to find something down here?
Is anyone doing serious reel work down here?
