This might qualify as a Johnson "service bulletin". Re: the Johnson Century 100B 45th Anniversary reels made in China, circa 2000. I've discovered a problem with one of the two variations of this model I have experience with. I have one that seems to be an earlier model, to wit: the "Johnson" name across the upper part of the pushbutton is in larger, vertical letters and the drag dial is numbered, as the original 100B, highlighted in gold. The tag on the reel foot is numbered 803. I have two other 100B 45th Anniversary reels, reel foot tag #'s 811 & 812. These reels have the Johnson inscription on the pushbutton in slanted, much smaller letters, and drag dial has arrows pointing to plus and minus symbols. These two (apparently) later reels have phillips-head sideplate screws that are virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remove to service the drive train gears. I applied various penetrating oils over a one-week period to one of the reels and still wallowed out the bottom screw head to the point that the only way to get it out would be to drill it. Has anyone else encountered this problem with this model? Solutions?
