JimT,
to the Mitchell Reel Museum.

The SN on your reel indicate that it was made in 1976. If you ever need dating information in the future you can click on "Dating Reels" on the MRM home page. This is the link you get. https://mitchellreelmuseum.com/dating-m ... l-numbers/

Ted,
I agree if the letter prefix is an E then it's a 1975 and if it is an F then its a 1976.

JimT,
It can not be a correct 300A housing as they weren't made until 1977. How about a photo of the full side of the reel where the handle is found?
Kind Regards,
Bill
