Allan, thanks for the reply. Yes, postage is mad now. I gave up pretty much all non-UK EBAY buying. A 300S clicker 83061 from France I've just seen is £5.52 plus £9.46 postage. Same website has 82447 for same price but included post . So 2 tiny bits of nylon for £20. Aaargh! A few years ago, a site ...

306 Reel.jpg 306 Ramp.jpg 306 Gear.jpg Hello, I just got an incomplete 306 for spares. It doesn't have planamatic gearing, so no cam ring or planamatic gear (parts 81560 & 81561) or the alternative crosswind plate (81592). Instead, the oscillation slide fits directly onto a square block on the ...

Re: Altex 1980 300A schematic. I see now what I should have got from my 1981 schematic. Different bail (83010) which with a cursory glance looks very much like the later one (83415). Details, details.... Well that's useful and I hope it helps GreatLaker.
Regards WYEcotswold.

Thanks Bill, I have 3 300S reels, and at last count 4 ultralight spools (83101) and 9 metal large capacity spools (83299). The reels are great, but they are not as flexible as the ordinary 300 as they don't have the range of spools to take different lines. 3 of the metal spools and 1 U/Ls have broke...

GreatLaker, no apology necessary. I don't have specific 300A schematics for those years, but what I've found from the 300A '77, '78, '79, '81 &'84 schematics that I do have is that the Pinion (82596) gears are the same on the 1988 300 and 1990 300 (it's Taiwan, but the part numbers match the '88...

Just seen your post. Here's an '88 schematic. Mcotswold.

I have a few Mitchells with skirted spools. 218, 218S, 300S, 900 & 906. They have 2 types of spool clicker. The 218, 218S and 900 have a hooked clicker which screws into the bottom of the spool (part # 82447), the 300S has a plate which fits over the spool spindle (part # 83061) and the 906 eith...

I rejoined MRM in it's new incarnation at the end of September. Just like to say Wallace that I'm glad you're continuing with the site after all the problems caused by the original being hacked. I wasn't that active a member - just a couple of posts - but I do miss the schematics and reel photos. I ...
