Product Description
DAM Quick 104-693 Pinion Gear, 1000
Part Number: 104-693
Item Type: Reel Repair Part / Pinion Gear
Revitalize the operation of your vintage lightweight reel with the DAM Quick 104-693 Pinion Gear. Designed for the DAM Quick 1000 (commonly associated with the Champion series), this pinion gear is the essential component that drives the rotor assembly. It works in perfect synchronization with the main drive gear to provide the smooth, consistent line retrieval that DAM reels are famous for.
If your reel is experiencing "gear roughness," a noisy retrieve, or if the rotor skips under load, a worn pinion gear is the most likely issue. Precision-machined to original German engineering standards, this replacement part ensures tight tolerances and eliminates the slop often found in high-mileage reels. Installing a new 104-693 Pinion Gear is a critical step in a complete mechanical restoration.
