Description

This is a Very Rare  Mitchell Auto Lighting Cast (ALC) 441A with Raised name plate in White and White Lighting Cast above. Reel is fully Restored and working Perfectly. Bail Lock is working , Silent AR is perfect . Shimmed perfectly Rotor to Body with No Play .  Bail is super crispy everything is working silky smooth like Factory new. 4 Hold down points on Baffle Plate very important when buying ABs... ( NOS )  Handle,  Face Plate screws , Lube Port screw and much more ! These 441As ALCs getting Rarer and Hard to come by. These ALCs were made from 1983 to 1989 mostly for the European market. I also have listed a 2nd Vrs and a Super Rare 441A Black
The 440A models are 5 to 1 Ratio of line retrieve. Mechanically another 10+++ Paint 9.7 Collector Quality !
Stand is not included in the Sale...
These Reels ( Auto Bails ) almost never are working properly due to the complexity of the Bails system. All of my AB listings are preforming like new after a minimum of 2 hours or more of complete breakdown cleaning and replacing all excessively worn parts with NOS parts. Just recommend adding a Quality Gun Oil from the Lube Port and Bail assembly after each fishing Season... Interesting fact, these ALCs were designed to open the bail by depressing the Red cover on the Bail Assembly to avoid bending the Wires.. ( see my other listing about bail wires )
Another helpful tip ! Mitchell Reels tend to pump up excess Oil to the Baffle Plate around shaft , Remove Spool and  wipe off regularly all excess Oil in this area to avoid dirt and sand building up in the Rotor..
If you dont have one of these Fun to use One Hand Cast Auto Bails you will not be disappointed ! This Rare  Version ALC is a perfect one to add to your Fishing Pleasure or Collection ! Sure to go up in Value! Buyer will be Very Happy with this one againl!   Good for another 30+Years !
