Parts ?

Post by Rado »

I just scored a 304 and a 300 in 2 fer deal for about the price of the 304 alone !
Cleaned them up and regressed !
On the 300 looks like I dropped 1 of those tiny pinion shims.
For the life of me can not find it lol. I swear there were 2 there lol But still works fine,
I plan on re cleaning it to see if hidden in the grease
So anyone recommend a good parts supplier ?

Thank you

Rado,
:text-welcomeconfetti: to the Mitchell Reel Museum.
There are several parts dealers on eBay. I know of one of them, Jeff Knight, that has an email of [email protected] .

Jeff is great.
Kenny is good but shipping from Canada kills ya.
The new guy seems ok.
You can trust all 3.

About three years ago, I sent a Mitchell 301 from Nova Scotia to Southern Illinois, near St Louis. Canada Post charged me $17CDN + change, which I thought was reasonable. A small Mitchell brochure that I sent to Michigan,a couple of months back, was $3 or 4. In my opinion, kennyboy charges too much for shipping and handling.

Bona, What is the Canadian Shipping rates.
I agree with you on the shipping from Kenny.
I thought that was the normal rates.
In lew of the shipping, do not have a bad thing to say about Kenny, his parts have always been great.

It depends on how fast you want the item to get to the destination. The shipments that I mentioned were the basic rate. When I ordered a few parts from Kenny, he combined shipping, but if I recall correctly, there was a handling cost for each additional item. I bought a reel, a reel body and a couple of small parts. This was about 5 years ago.

I am speaking only for Canada Post. Courier rates, I don’t have knowledge there.
