Hi guys just come out of Surgery , so no fishing for a bit , beside the rivers are up and the weathers not so hot so I thought I would give this thread a bump and see if there are any helpers out there.

 

Best Wishes

Hi mate hope you get over your surgery quickly.

 

Sorry to say Ive had no luck at all with all my ABU contacts.Literally anything for multipliers but no joy at all with closed face parts.What really amazes me though is ABU themselves.They used to have a spares service second only to Mitchell.Spares for reels that hadnt been made for over a decade or two would still be available.Even in the very rare case that they couldnt supply off the shelf they would always be able to offer alternative advice.It seemed to be a great matter of pride with them.

 

One of the reasons I allways praised ABU and Mitchell was not just the quality of their products but the after sales.Indeed they were reels for life.Using them as the standard I often decried the more "modern" firms on the scene such as Shimano who often couldnt even supply the correct part for a current reel let alone an old one!

 

Sadly it seems all have gone the same way.Maybe with the fierce market as it is now the need to keep "updating" models has made it impractical for companies to hold on to amounts (if at all!) of spares? How often do we hear of reels simply being replaced rather than repaired these days?

 

Like I said Mdg sorry I couldnt help I was more than sure I could.Last resort is to keep looking out for a 507 in need of repair/for spares or really cheap etc on Ebay.I will certainly put it in my "favourite searches" and keep an eye out for you.I can totally understand your frustration with this.

I have 2 abu reels. One is definely a 501 as I have had it from new. How can I tell which one the other is. I bought it unboxed and therefore without the booklet from a second-hand shop. It has a sort of light metalic red cover for the spool. If this is the right one you can have it as I don't think it ever worked properly.

 

If it is send me a PM

Ferg,usually the identity of a Abu 500 series reel is strait forward by the colour of the cowling and the drag adjuster

 

501=black cowling+no adjuster knob

503=copper/brass cowling+screw slotted adjuster

505=red cowling+ star drag adjuster

506=matalic blue cowling +syncro-adjuster knob

506m=matalic blue cowling with a groove+syncro-adjuster knob

 

bigger versions:

507=matalic blue cowling +syncro-adjuster knob

508=matalic blue cowling with breather slots+syncro-adjuster knob [L/H]

 

this is the size difference between the Abu 507/8's and the other Abu 500 series reels

i recently aquired a cheap 507 {mk1} from e-bay for £30 [usually go for around £50] and ocationally a spares / repairs one does turn up but still cost upwards of £20+,just keep checking one should turn up sooner or later.

 

ferg,if your other reel with the redie,orange cowling is of no use to you i'll be intrested in it for spares and willing to pay £10 inc.
