So I have a 1973 Mitchell 300 in perfect condition. I did the tutorial and am confident in my re-assembly. It is just not as smooth as it should be, though I know that these are rough. From what I understand with proper shimming these can be smoothened out a bit. Can someone recommend a real repair shop that is very competent with this reel and can optimize its performance? Cheers!

Those have been rough but reliable. I didn't know it could be smoother. If you find someone to make it smoother, please do share what was done.
Ha!
I grew up using Mitchel 300s and always thought they were as smooth as could be. Guess if it's your only reel you have nothing to compare it to.
