Hey Cyrus, I guess you figured it out. Coffee Grinder is a term that we use here for "Spinning Gear". I have lots of Coffee Grinders too. I never bought any of the Penns but I do have some of the older Mitchel 400 series for saltwater as well as Daiwa 750s and even some Abu Garcial Cardinals. Those are awesome reels.
A few years back I started adding some of the Okuma Coronados to my family of gear. Those are strong and have the "Bait Runner" feature on them. It's like having a "Clicker" from the conventional reel and then be able to go right into the cranking in without having to push other buttons.
I will keep an eye out on Reels or even spare parts for you. Do you mostly go through Drag Washers and bearings?? I'm sure I can muster up a supply from a few of my local tackle shops. What are you using for lube?? Are you using the Penn Lube?? I use that in my Coffee Grinders and it keeps them smooth.
