Title: Garcia Mitchell 300 Spool trick?
Post by: hartman37 on January 28, 2012, 08:10:04 PM

Hi guys- long time lurker... Love this site! I have a couple old Garcia Mitchell 300's I have been restoring for a friend and was wondering if any one knew a trick to putting the spool on... The spring needs to lay beside the clicker, and it takes some fooling around to get it right. The fact that there is a slot in the spool leads me to believe there is a tool or trick to make this easier, but I havent figured it out yet- any suggestions? Thanks!

Hmmm. Missing parts may explain it... Where does the stud go? Would I see it on the schematic? This is the first of two- maybe I should take the second one apart and see if it has the stud? Thanks for the quick reply.
