Title: Andros 511 single dog version - schematic needed
Post by: Jon_Kol on May 30, 2016, 09:23:56 AM
Hi!

Does anyone have the schematic for the Andros 511 2-speed with the single Ambassadeur-style dog? I can only find the version with two dogs, as listed here on alantani.com. The version I need, has the dog sitting at the bottom of the drive gear assembly.

If anyone has the schematic, I'd be happy to hear from you.

*SOLVED*

I got in touch with a gentleman at Okuma, and after sending him some pictures, he was able to find out that the reel I was given to service, is actually a prototype reel made for display in Europe and was never meant to be distributed for sale. Somehow this reel did end up being sold to someone, who used it for Halibut fishing, and then sent it to me to be serviced.

Strange how such things can happen, no wonder I couldn't find a single picture matching the reel, not to mention a schematic. :D
