Title: Searching for Abu Ambassadeur Main Gear Part:19811
Post by: Drisse on July 12, 2016, 09:54:27 PM
Hi !

I'm searching for a main gear for an Ambassadeur Royal Express. The part number is 19811. Called Abu Sweden, but they did only have the pinion gear. The main gear is no longer in stock. Made a search and saw that Dadsoletackle had it, but they dont ship to Sweden.

Also sent Blakdogtackle in UK a mail, but no luck. Anyone here who have discontinued parts for sale or know where to find ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi Drisse --

If no one has one on the site -- have Dad's ship it to one of us -- and we will get it to you.

I have some -- but they are loose, and I cannot ID without a reel on my bench to check fit.

Best,

Fred

Thanks again mikeysm. I saw that ereplacementparts had it. Only problem with them is their shippingcost. Last time I had to email them and ask if their shippingcost was for real ;)

From another thread: "I found some parts I needed on Ereplacementparts. Just small parts and they landed on $45.
But I jumped high when I saw what shipping they suggested. Standard shipping to Sweden
$95..... Their cheapest shipping was $30 something and then the delivery should take a couple
of weeks. Cheaper for me to buy new reels Smiley"

If you're in it for the long term you could consider buying a parts reel.  Something like a broken handle knob will cut the cost of a reel in half at the auction and the shipping costs of a used reel can be lower than that of a single part from commercial suppliers.
