Calcutta Conquest 50 Problems (with video)
After cleaning, (the bearings, including AR bearing) the back play is worse, and in fact constant pressure on the handle moves causes the spool to travel.. Again, I can't find an AR bearing for the Conquest 50 on Plat. Any ideas what I should do next?

Calcutta Conquest 50 Problems (with video)
Shes been completely broken down, cleaned and put back together. However, still getting some back play, I believe it is the AR bearing gone bad. I cannot find a AR bearing for the conquest in plat. I am not seeing it in the schematics here http://www.plat.co.jp/parts/SHIMANO-BAIT/CALCUTTA/01CALCUTTA-CONQUEST50-01581.pdf I have an extra AR bearing from my other Calcutta (100GT TE) and it appears to be the same size. I don't know if they are even compatible. Anyone have any knowledge?

Thank you for the welcome! I can't wait to contribute to the forums and I hope to learn from other fine fishermen here. Brief note I have opened the gear side and The Pads are essentially liquid at this point. These will need to be replaced and I have them on the way. Hope this can help in the diagnosing process.

Calcutta Conquest 50 Problems (with video)
I have recently purchased a Shimano Calcutta conquest from Japan. Reel works almost perfect, but has one major issue. The handle has some back play, and the spool moves when doing so. Please excuse my commentary this was sent to the seller of the reel in Japan. I am not an expert so I may sound like an idiot. Any Idea what it could be? I suspect something to do with the roller bearing? There are still parts for these available on Plat.co so any expert advice would be greatly appreciated! I hope i can get this fixed before spring rolls around.
