Title: older Ambassadeur 5000 internal greasing and oiling
Post by: worknpreach on October 03, 2011, 08:31:39 PM

I have a bunch of older red cover ambassadeur 5000 reels from the 70's that I've been taking apart and cleaning up. I could really use a video on proper cleaning and relubrication of these reels. Not always sure what to oil and what to grease. I also am not sure proper cleaning techniques. Some say WD-40 and others soap and water .......etc. Would like to do it correctly.

a video is a pretty big production. try the photos for now. video productions on this scale would be a huge undertaking.

Try this thread: http://www.stripersonline.com/t/720350/abu-6000c-rebuild It should be about the right reel for yours. If you do decide to remove that coil spring in that cage, up top, for the yoke, You'll regret it.
