Title: Mitchel 302 anti-reverse spring
Post by: physbiz on May 30, 2013, 06:59:31 PM
Hello all. 
Have been reading Alan's wisdom for quite a while so I decided to become a member a few weeks ago.
The depth of knowledge and spirit of co-operation on this forum is very impressive, that's why I'm here.
Now to my question.
I'm trying to help a friend with his old Mitchel 302.  Everything seems ready to go but I need to see a picture of the anti reverse spring installed correctly to do the assembly.  Anyone have one to post?
Tight lines to all,
physbiz

Thanks Juan. 
Appreciate your quick response.
Unfortunately the 300 looks nothing like the 302 inside.
Tight lines,

Thanks for responses.

I know I'm extremely late to the party and I'm a bit reluctant to reply to a sticky, but I thought this may be of some help to others.

The Anti-Reverse Dog Spring is different between some versions of the 302.  The photo below shows a late version (1970's) in the back, an earlier version (1960's ?) in the front.  Note the springs.

I had disassembled both reels, cleaned and bagged the parts.  The only disassembly photos I had was of the early reel.  I started re-assembling the later version first and was stumped.

I'm really late to the party, but here is a 302 I just took apart.  Never mind the rust, it's gone now.  Bill
