Lol why would I spend $70 when I can spend a few cents and have a better made reel working ☺

You might have better luck by posting your question on a different forum, maybe an actual fishing forum? You might stumble on an acorn anywhere but your odds go up under an oak tree.

Is it just a normal washer? to hold the plastic knob on the turn rod? If you can get a decent inside/outside measurement, try something like microfasteners around me, those old diawa and some mitchel reels still have a pretty loyal following (mostly old timers anymore) as they withstand the abuse of the surf fishing for striper bass better than a lot of new stuff at multiples the price

edit: just realised this was months old
