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
It's 2.5 mini micro cross screw . Just order 2.5x9 mini micro cross screw on ebay . You may replace all 3 to get them match together . the price is $2.00 .$10 shipping for 5

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
Screw is screw ,don't have to be Mitchell screw as long as it work and look the same . Local hardware may carry it , try this $7.00 for 50
