I have the above reel and am having issues with the AB system not wanting to stay down. I just replaced this on and off button last year. Can you give me any pointers. I have enclosed a picture.
Thank You

we had problems with one of these and finally settled the issue by ripping everything out and calling it done.   >:(

Same here. Not worth the effort. Don't know of anyone in our area that uses them anymore. Nothing but problems.
