I have a number of 302's that my Dad left me when he died. Most in good shape, although a little beat up. I had to fix a couple, managed to get parts on eBay, and found a guy that runs a tackle shop down in Currituck County, NC who has a lot of parts. I even bought a 303 (left hand model, since I am a southpaw) from the guy. That was a couple of years ago, can't remember his name, or the shop.
One of my favorite rigs is an old rod from the 60's with a pre-57 Mitchell 302 on it. I love fishing with it.
Mike the fisher-man has a store over on ebay, he specializes in Mitchell parts. Even has the manual pickup conversions for the 302/402. If he does not have what you want on eBay, shoot him a message telling him what you want, he does not list everything he has in the on line store.
I've bought from him a couple times, no problems at all.
