Post by stephenv »

Hi there,

I am new here and I am looking for some information regarding my Mitchell 300 half bail.
We are just looking for more information on dates, use of the bail arm mechanism etc? I have never seen this sort of mechanism before.

Any help/information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Stephen

Greetings Stephenv,
:text-welcomeconfetti: to the Mitchell Reel Museum.

The Mitchell half bails were made back in the 40's up till around 1953, and were replaced by the common full bail.
Here's a pic of a page from the operating manual about using the reel. I hope this is some help.
