Evening gents,my wife arrived home from work tonight and handed me a bag ,in the bag was a reel (mitchell i think) in bits.would anybody know what model it is and also does it look like all the bits are there? It cost her £1 off the local market so no great loss if it is incomplete Image

Clicked on that link Nobby and my security software analysed it, said it was unsafe and removed it. Ref HTM 268?

There's some problem with the Mitchel Reel Museum website, though I personally get no warnings, but some members have mentioned Google warnings when they try and enter.

The link would have taken you to 'schematics' an exploded diagram of the reel I think perhaps the OP has.


He'll also need these springs still left in the bodyshell:

I wouldn't say it was 'budget', none of the Mitchells were cheap and they were all well made. Mine lasted years until I trod on it.
