Yes, I do remember the metal plate. The problem only occurred once in a
while as I remember. I have two SS tanks/reels I would like to use, but
they are so frustrating to load. Maybe I should try one of the Hewes reels
to see if they are easier. The two I have are Nikor and Omega. These reels
look identical and both are difficult to load. The Jobo I use now is very
easy to load.
