The De Luxe had a quickly detachable spool. It's hard to find parts for them as they are so rare, but the release spring is from a Rapidex spool release so at least they can be found.

It came in a box with a few extras like an oil can, I think. They are prone to rusting on the bail arm that is always hard to spot due to the curvature.
