Trudex

[Vole]

I think they were used for laying-on/stret-pegging tactics, with a long rod, and the reel spending most of its time flat on the angler's knee...at least, the only one I've seen in use was. As the longest rods of the day were beasts like the Marco "Marauder" - 16.5 feet of beefy hollow glass, about 2" across where in joined the handle - the big Trudex might have been seen as the easiest way to counterbalance all that glass.

I have recently picked up a Trudex centrepin reel based on advice of a well suited pin to go with a Edgar Sealey Octofloat deluxe. I picked up a leeds centrepin as well in the bundle.
Attached are some photos as you can see it been used and needs a few bits. its missing a screw/bolt from the line guard and appears to have a crack on the central face plate. Does anyone have any spares I can buy to replace the lost and damaged bits please?
Also when I picked the reel up I discovered it was the larger version, not really what I was after so maybe up for a swap or sale at some point on this one. its useable and ill give it a clean up to have a go with it and see how I go from there.
Any idea of value for this reel please? as it is would be nice to know if I paid a going rate for something in such condition!
ill post photos of the leeds reel in its relevant section.
