This might be dumb considering DVT is a sponsor but he is still doing business? I knew I would be helpless when trying to do my handle upgrade on my Shimano and a 5 minute job has turned into a miniature disaster with springs and little parts going here , there, and everywhere. I just need to send it to someone who can put it back together. Thanks guys.

Yes they are still in business.

He had a temporary shut-down over the holidays, but he's back up and running. Might send him a PM here to see what his schedule looks like.

Thanks sir. Will do! Much appreciated.

I've never been able to get in touch will him. 2 or 3 different times over the past year

Email call or pm 

Send at your convenience for first come first served. 

Ive done plenty of business from custom rods to reel service/upgrade to buying jigs and spinnerbaits - never a problem. His communication and advice is second to none.

Mr Lawson at DVT is working his magic on these as we speak ~

I've used him many times. Great communication, easy procedure, great quality work.

We text pretty frequently.  I can't imagine he'd ever be hard to get in touch with.

The one time I PM'd a question to him about an old reel - he got back to me within a day.

Well, they're Quantums, so they need the work!

Ya...for an 'amateur', A-Jay's a little obsessive about rigs.

LOL ~

And they're all discontinued models - (you know Quantum) 

So if they need parts, I might be kind of hosed.

#fingerscrossed

This may be the last time the Q's make the trip to DVT.

I'm already doing the R&D for the replacements.

It's a daunting task.

Not really.  Just find the Daiwa or Shimano that fits your hand nice.  Have Mike drop Carbontex drags in them

I'd say 'Diawa or Pflueger', but that's just me.

They are a licenser, not a manu, so for my money, they're out.  Not saying they aren't great reels, just not for me.
