I have an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000 reel and the line guide gets stuck on one side or the other causing the line to pile up on one side of the spool. The ambassadeur 5000 was first made in green, red and black colors, by 1957 it was decided that red would be the color of the reel.
Abu Garcia reels come in the following sizes: 4x00, 5x00, 6x00 - The X in the size when replaced with a 5 represents a push button (for example 5500 or 6500) free spool release model and a 6 is a thumbar (for example 5600 or 6600)free spool release model.
It lists an alpha numeric serial number as well as the model number and date of manufacture. Vintage Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000 Lure Bait Casting Reel # 417668 Ex In Case. Abu Garcia® Round Baitcast Reels are loved by warriors against the big fish for their efficient fighting power, controlled casts, and a drag system that provides smooth consistent pressure. The earlier Ambassadeur 5000s from the late 1950s to about mid 1971 used sequential serial numbers. However by examining the parts on the reel one can get close to when it was made. Look at the 1st 2 numbers on your reel foot,and that will tell you what year it was made.
