REMARKS: Made in France and New in Box. From 1982 the famous planamatic gears were removed from Mitchell 308A, probaly to reduce cost, this was a big mistake. From 1985 it got worse, the main gear was replaced by a cheap aluminium, zinc alloy and the pignon gear got no conical teeth. This finally destroyed the identity of Mitchell 308. A few years later production of 308 was moved to Taiwan.
