I think your right GOS, It's not the MK 3 or 4, more likely to be the Mk 2FP type 3 or 4.

What do you mean by "q/d" Nobby.

Sorry, I meant 'quickly detatchable'. GOS seems to speak of a spool that comes off without unwinding the whole check mechanism.

Nobby if you take a look at the link below you can see my No. 3 which has the quick detatchable spool.

Ah! I wondered if it might be that one....thanks Mark.


That spool seems to appear on various models, right up to later swan-neck bodied ones.

I want one...or three.
