Product Description
DAM Quick 100-433 Slide (Oscillation Block)
Restore Perfect Line Lay to Your Vintage Reel
Ensure the smooth, even spool movement of your classic spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-433 Slide (also known as the Oscillation Slide or Block). This internal mechanical component is the critical link in the oscillation system of the DAM Quick 220 and 221 series. It connects the main spool axle to the stud on the main drive gear, converting the rotary motion of the handle into the vertical, reciprocating motion of the spool.
On vintage reels, the oscillation slide is subject to constant friction and side-loading. Over decades of use, the channel where the gear stud rides can wear down or widen. This wear results in "slop" at the top and bottom of the spool stroke, leading to uneven line lay (hour-glassing or pyramiding) and a clunky feel during retrieval. Installing this genuine-specification replacement restores the tight tolerances needed for precise line management and smooth casting.

Key Features
-
Precise Line Management: Ensures the spool moves up and down at the correct speed relative to the rotor for flat, even line winding.
-
Friction Resistant: Manufactured from durable metal to withstand the constant motion against the gear stud.
-
Direct Fit: Designed to mount securely to the main axle shaft of the 220/221 chassis.
-
Restoration Essential: The primary fix for reels that have developed a "knock" during the oscillation cycle.
Technical Specifications & Schematics
The oscillation slide is located inside the main gear box. To see exactly how it connects to the Main Axle (100-385 equivalent for this series) and the Main Gear stud, please consult the detailed PDF schematics for your specific model at www.reelschematic.com.

Installation Tip: Proper lubrication is vital for this part. When installing the new slide, apply a generous amount of quality reel grease to the groove where the gear stud travels. Also, ensure the screw connecting the slide to the axle is tight (often secured with a thread locker) to prevent it from backing out during use.
