alan if you are still lurking about the chat boards , after you tighten up the handle , should you be able to slidel the hand in and out of the body like as if there is a bit of movement between the gears

Not frequently, but I check every once in a while. Will be posting some more trip reports/reel reviews before autumn

You should feel some play, yes. It's required for the gears to function correctly. Opposite to what many think, over shimming the gears to a dead fit will make them wear quickly and a percentage of efficiency will be lost to undue friction.
