Hi MacCullum, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
I have made some inquiries for you regarding the availability of spare parts for the Scotty Model 65. Bruce has indicated that the online store cannot help here. I have been told by an acquaintance of mine, that parts for this model are really scarce and those parts that are available, are very expensive.
I contacted another business that deals in Scott Bonnar parts and you can get the cutter bearing housings...but at a price...are you sitting down....$240.00 each...
The "cam action bearing housing moving" (you call it the "cutter bearing housing pivot" is also available at...you better sit down again...$160.00...Ouch!!
Bruce and I discussed the condition of your cylinder reel, and we both agree that it will be good for possibly 2 maybe 3 regrinds before it will need to be replaced. Bruce may be able to help out here when the time comes.
Used reels in good condition are available, depending on how many blades you require; 8 or 10.
Sorry I could not have better news for you,
