Mitchell 300 Pro Side Plate Screws stripped

[Conor1000]

I bought an unused 300 Pro from the `Bay. I cleaned it up, not that it needed a lot of work; the grease was fine. I did notice that one of the side plate screws was slightly damaged and when I went to screw it back in, as carefully as I could, I stripped it. These are Philip head screws. A search on the `Bay, is showing prices between 5 and 10 Dollars, but the shipping to Switzerland is 22 Dollars. Is it really that much? Can anybody recommend a shop or dealer where I can buy them without getting hosed on shipping? Otherwise; I am going to buy a similar reel for parts! Many thanks in advance. Conor

Shipping to Switzerland will be difficult and expensive. Might try to find a specialty fastener shop closer to home. Maybe bring one with you so you can try to match it
