After the 1-Pfoot was discontinued, Shakespeare introduced a Chinese reel foot replacement. Reels with riveted feet could accept the 1-Pfoot if the rivets lined up with the holes on the 1-Pfoot and the rivets were removed to accept the screws. Franke Custom Fishing Rods, North Conway, NH, introduced the 1-Pfoot reel foot replacement for older Medalist reel feet with screws which allowed for use on more modern rods. The words 'Pflueger Medalist' and/or 'Shakespeare' appeared on the spool latch cover. The reel body now has the stamp, 'Made in Akron O USA,' versus just 'Patented. This was supposed to fit any Medalists except for the 1492, which was a click drag. The reel foot had the words Japan, China or Hong Kong inscribed in it. The 15 were discontinued with the availability of a left-hand conversion ratchet, part number 3933. The letters CJ (Japan) and AK (Hong Kong, China) appeared after the model numbers.
