Pflueger Rocket 1355

I picked up 2 of these reels over the past 2 weeks off of EBay. I just bought a canoe and wanted to get a couple compact reels for trolling. Man, they don't make gear like that anymore. Working at FishUSA I get to see everything up close and there is alot of great gear made today, but these reels are amazing. The only plastic on them is the handle knobs. All other parts are steel and brass. There is a small screw on the handle side and its only purpose is to house a spare part for the levelwind, both of which were brand new inside. I stripped the reels, cleaned and oiled them and they look great. A friend bought a few of them and upgraded the drag with some washers from smoothdrag.com.

My only issue is that one of the bushing screw caps (marked - oil cap) is missing on one of the reels. It acts as a spool control. It will be hard to find this part for a 60 year old reel. If anyone has an old 1355, or 1375 or if anyone knows a place to source old reel parts please let me know.
