Hi

I have several of these reels which I bought as I liked the concept. However the cassette spool is liable to slip within the reel. It appears the raised areas are not 'prone' enough and slip out of the space for them on the handle side of the reel? Has anybody had the same problem and cured it? One theory is the reel was made in Britain [bFC now moved to China] but the spools made in China and the original British spools would not 'slip'? I have cured the problem by glueing with epoxy small pieces of plastic from an ice cream tup onto the spool to increase the thickness! You should not have to do that to £100+ reels!
