Delmatic help needed: handle spring broken

Post by Bobby Marlene »

Dear friends, again I need your help. I broke the spring that holds the handle in place on my Delmatic. :hairpull: Does anyone know where I can get one or how I can hold the handle in place otherwise. Many thanks, best, Bobby

to be honest, I gave up on it. Did not find one. Alternatively you could search for a cheap reel for spares and use the spring. It seems that some Ambidex models have the same spring, so that would make it easier to find a reel for spares. But I am not sure of that. Success, Bobby
