Hi all, thank you for clearing up that stuff. The manual has pictures of one with the spool pin plate and one without, I would think maybe they wouldn't have a pic of one without if none came that way, but who knows for sure, just my assumption. It will work fine without it. I have only seen 1/2 dozen or so live 201s and they "all" had that plate on there, not much to go buy,eh? We have a couple of the aluminum ones, tan, so am glad they are made the same, I had wondered why they were so different looking. They changed and mixed up so much stuff, you guys must have brains like traps as you can keep that all in your head. You are so helpful. When I get it cleaned up for a pic I will post one. Needs dusted and oiled!
