Need help
Hey guys my name is eric. Im new to the forum. I have an old mitchell i believe to be a 301 that i received from my father. Im currently in the process of repairing this reel. The problem i have is i dont know where the sn is on this reel. Everywhere i researched states to look on the foot but there is nothing stamped on it. Just wanted to know to see if im gathering the right parts for the repairs.

Ericspry,
to the Mitchell Reel Museum.
The older Mitchell 300s, for a period, placed the serial number on the back of the reel body, on the opposite side from the handle near the top edge.
There was also a time during the very early half-bail era where there were no serial numbers.
Chances are that if there isn't a SN on either the reel foot, or the back of the body that the body is a repair part. Repair 300 body's didn't come with serial numbers.
