 i picked up 2 Mitchell 300 reels from ebay.
I have been repairing old reels but that is for another post.
When I was a kid around 1962 my dad bought me my 1st name brand reel the Mitchell 300.
It got lost in many moves so bought something on ebay price was ok and and after servicing them them run fine.
I noticed on was loading the line on the front of the reel,
I normally add or remove washers to balance reel , this only has one washer ?
not a big deal I will make it work

Should have only (1) drag washer on top, then the drag tension spring, then the drag knob.

Under the spool will be one more washer.

If you need any of these —- just let me know.
