Title: ABU schematics
Post by: dunderhead on February 13, 2011, 12:41:25 AM
Hey guys....First post but what an awsome forum.

I got two abu's from my grandfather who recently past away. I wanted to get them back to working order but cant find the proper schematic.

The reel seats have the following numbers:

5500C has 856400

5000 has 850100

I found schematics for a 1984 but not the 85?

No help on the schematics but I've been trying to figure out how to upgrade a mid 70s vintage 5000c, so far no luck.  They aren't too complicated but I'd put the older reels on the shelf.

Yea, I have taken them apart and from what I can tell the 84 model schematics seem to work for the 85. I just wanted to amke sure they were the same. Thanks!
