Felton Crosswind Tech Diagrams

Post by Ambrosia »

Hello All,

I recently purchased a rather nice pair of Allcock Felton Crosswind, both have silver body and spool with a black corrugated rotating head and folding handle.

I'm interested in getting inside these little beauties and giving them a bit of a clean-up, but I have to admit that intriguing crosswind mechanism scares me a little! :surrender:

Does anyone have access to a technical diagram for these?

All best,
Jonathan
They waited for me, the whole river
Listened to me, and, blind,
Invisibly watched me. And held me deeper
With its blind, invisible hands.
“We’ve got him,” it whispered, “We’ve got him.”

Super! Thank you, I've been in touch and they're sending a copy :Thumb:

The Felton is not to difficult to disassemble, if you take pictures from every step you make you create your own instructions book to put it back to gather when you finished the job, here some pictures from a Felton i refurbished
