I am a penn, Newell collector and repairer. Just got into abu ambassadeur reels made in Sweden. Looking for schematic source of old 4500 , 5000 etc. also looking for a reliable parts place. Us penn guys have mystic:Scott's. Newell is hit and miss. Who are the go to people for ambassadeurs.
Here's ABU's schematic site. (http://www.abugarcia.com/AbuGarcia-reel-schematics.html) You may find what you need there.
eBay is always my first choice, but eReplacement parts is a good go-to place for non-obsolete parts. (https://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-parts-c-187196.html)
Click on the appropriate style reel (https://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-round-reel-parts-c-187196_187197.html), scroll down, and you can look through a numerical model list to find the reel you need parts for.
Click on that model (i.e. 4500) (https://www.ereplacementparts.com/abu-garcia-4500-ambassadeur-parts-c-187196_187197_187260.html) and you can see what's available.
Here are two more sources for Abu Garcia parts:

On the ABU schematic site, the name of the pdf file is often the number stamped on the stand.
Sometimes the only option is to get a parts reel off ebay. There are always plenty of 5000's that don't cost much more than a small parts order.

I use those two for everything but side plates. Those I get from eReplacement Parts. Jerry is usually my first stop but I'll order from Dad's Ole Tackle in a pinch if I need something quick. I dunno what it is about the post office, but for some reason any time I order from Jerry it takes a week for me to get parts even having him ship Priority Mail.
