A take-up reel for storing and paying out an electrical cable in which the main components of the reel have a unitized construction to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the reel. A spring motor is hinge mounted on the reel base to permit movement of the motor away from the reel drum for quick access to the drum interior. An overrunning clutch connects the spring motor shaft to the reel drum to provide a positive drive between the motor and drum during normal winding and rewinding operations, while permitting the drum to freely overrun the shaft during rewinding in the event the drum speed exceeds that of the spring motor. The clutch also provides a reliable driving connection between the spring motor and the reel drum regardless of slight errors in their alignment.
