Hi,

I'm looking to purchase ABEC7 Bearings for my 5000C spool from Boca Bearings. The serial number is 110989 - Fred Ribb estimated it's production date to be between Dec 1969 and Jan 1970. What size bearings do I need?

Just call Boca & tell them what you have. They will take it from there.

Thanks for responding Bluefish. I spoke with them, but unfortunately they don't have the 5000C in their database. That said, Boca asked me to send them a bearing, so they could make a kit for this model - they offer a discount to customers that help them with models they don't have documented. I'm willing go that route - I was just hoping someone here might be able to save me some time and postage.
