DAM Quick 100-527 Connecting Piece
Ensure Flawless Spool Oscillation on Your Vintage Reel
Secure the mechanical link between your reel's drive system and the spool shaft with the DAM Quick 100-527 Connecting Piece. This small but vital hardware component serves as the anchor point in the oscillation assembly of several classic DAM Quick models. Its primary function is to lock the main axle to the internal oscillation slide or drive mechanism, ensuring that the rotary motion of the gears is effectively converted into the vertical lifting motion of the spool.
On vintage reels like the Quick 330 and 440, this connecting link is subjected to the constant push-and-pull forces of the retrieval cycle. If this piece becomes bent, worn, or the screw holes become stripped, the connection to the main axle can loosen. This results in "slop" in the spool stroke, uneven line lay, or a complete failure of the spool to move up and down. Installing this genuine-specification replacement restores the tight, reliable mechanical action required for precision fishing.

Technical Specifications & Schematics
The 100-527 Connecting Piece is located deep within the gear box, typically secured by small screws to the oscillation slide and the main axle. To see the exact assembly orientation, please consult the detailed PDF schematics for your specific model at www.reelschematic.com.
