These were sitting in a junk heap of reels. Fred's magic of parts restored them to fish another day. This weekend i will test these out. I still have another two a 330N and 550 N to restore. I hate idea of landfills with fishing reels. Looking forward to dq rolle in fresh water and tight lines. Thanks Fred.
Nice! I have never been exposed to one what does the dial on the body of the Quick Super in the lower right do? Is it a type of drag? - john

That is one of the earliest 270 Supers from 1954, John —-
It has a dial indicator which is basically a line or depth counter. They called it a "Quick-O-Mat".
The "Quick-O-Mat's" were only on this reel, and then the even more rare Standard S.W. 68, or the 250 Standard. This additional sideplate and line counter could be installed on any SW68 or 250 —- then it became a 260.
Kind of a gimmick —- and was discontinued after a few years.
European models were in meters, US models in yards.
Here is the description in the owners manual —-
Best, Fred
The 250 Standard is serious tank. Unfortunately not a worm-drive. I sold mine to Frank, but wold love to get a deal on one in a box with paper work and not much use on it.
