Alvey 500c1 - anyone got one?

[Andrew_P]

G'day AFO,

I've inherited an old Alvey 500c1 with a bakelite spool. I've pulled it apart and given it a good clean but cant seem to get the drag pawl to re-engage. Does anyone have one i could borrow to pull apart and see how it works/see if i am missing anything? or have the experience to look at mine and tell me whats wrong? Needs to have the drag clicker and the ratchet (see back plate in image).

Cheers

Andrew

This might help a bit?

G’day jimmyjack I’ve tried that and have the drag pawl installed as per the diagram but still no luck hence the request

Not sure what model this Alvey is but it is very old and the spool is 3.5”  and bakelite. Hope this helps.  I am not the the world’s best photographer so let me know if you need more detail.
