Old mitchell reels

[Tigger]

 

I use ebay alot, infact most a lot of my stuff has come through ebay, either shops or private sellers.

If you order something through ebay and pay via paypal your covered against any con-men.

If the item you buy isn't as described then you just send it back at their expence so you can't really loose out.

Interesting indeed Andy & doesn't take a lot of working out that there are some (maybe basic) watchmakers Tech' in there - especially with the 410 Match Auto bale, a very clever piece of engineering including the On/Off switch so the bale arm can't be opened accidentally!!

Thanks to Martin56 I'm now the proud owner of three Mitchell 300s, three Mitchell 440s match, spare spools and an unidentified Centrepin. 

I spent all morning stripping, cleaning, re oiling, and generally servicing. One tiny spring to order and they're all just about as good as new. The Chinese copy one to be fair is a good copy and well put together, but the parts are not compatible with genuine Mitchell. I need to source a small retaining spring to make it perfect. Centrepin running fine and free, not sure yet whether to try it with handles or not, time will see.

300s will all see service this year, but can't promise all three 440s will. One certainly will, soon as the weather warms up.

Centrepin just needs the excess oil removing then it gets new line and straight into use.

I can't put pictures up as I can't downsize enough for here yet.

Thanks again Martin and nice to meet you.
