Default Help Needed : Orvis Battenkill Reel

Have tried to change the retrieve on a 'Made In England' Battenkill Disc Drag reel this morning and the two springs have popped out. Doe's anyone have a picture of the inside of one please as I've no idea how they go back. Thanks, Tim

Easiest way is to contact the Orvis Service dept. They can talk you through it or maybe email you a picture.

Thanks Andrew, I'd looked at that but it's the latest one. Mine's not the same inside.
I'll try the live chat Steven, thank you for the link (will try later as the live chat is from the US)

I had found this one Tim, but your post says your reel is the disc drag one, isn't this the click/pawl version? I may be being very dumb here, if so forgive me!

So did I, as you said the springs had popped out.
Ah well, as long as you have sorted it.

Sorry, should have said clips , It has a drag, it's the 5/6. I've either put it back together wrongly or it didn't need the retrieve altering as just changed the backing and line to suit the left handed retrieve and it's perfect. Thanks again for the advice
