Mitchell Museum..

Post by morgan in new mexico »

Does anybody know whats going on with the Mitchell Museum website? I've been trying to view it but lately, all I get is a message saying that the account is suspended. Thanks, Morgan.

It has a malware warning. As I understand it Wallace has been unable or doesn't want to repair the problem. I have heard there are a couple of people that are trying to either fix access to the site or move the information elsewhere. It is a shame that it's currently out of service. It has been a great resource for people interested in Mitchell reel research and information.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

I have been checking back periodically, and it appears all is lost.

It is really a shame, as thiscwas a great resource.

Maybe someone could pull the information into another location (like we have on the OC site)?

I saw on Joe's Board that someone is cleaning up the site. The malware warnings have disappeared for me, but the site is read only for now. Here is a link:

Really glad to be able to search the site for info. Hopefully they'll get the Forum up and running again.
