| I have a 15+ year old Calcutta 400 B that needs work on the clutch mechanisms.
Sent it to a Shimano, and they returned it saying they couldn’t repair due to lack of parts. 
Any suggestions on where I can send it who’d have the proper parts?
I love the reel but it needs work.
Thanks |

Location: MN | I have a fair amount of B parts on hand as I service lots of Shimano reels. I'd be happy to take a look at it for you at no charge to see if i have what it takes if Dave's can't do it, would just cost you shipping both ways. If you know the parts it needs ahead of time I can also check and let you know. Just PM me. On the other hand, if it truly is a 400 B, that is a current model and most parts should be available. I wonder if you have a 400 CT (precursor to the 400 TE). That also can be retrofitted with many of the B parts, but Shimano unlikely to want to do it. |

| Any idea on checking the exact model I have? There’s a “YG” stamped on the reel foot |

| There’s also a “98” in a box on the original schematic near the model number. My mistake, its not a “B” version. |

Location: MN | Does it say 400 CT on it? Post a picture otherwise. Again if you want to send it to me I will take it apart and at least tell you what it needs. And whether I have or can get the parts. |

Location: new richmond, wi. & isle, mn | I'm guessing it's the old 400 which was the precursor to the 400B. |
