I was given an ambassaduer with no markings saying what size it is but someone had scratched 5500 into it. I compared it to a friend's 6500/6600 and it seems to be the same size. And I can't get the schematics to pop up. The foot number is 067200 and the side plates are like a silver/blue  or gunmetal color. Any help is appreciated.

After looking up the foot number again, I found that there are several models from 5000 to the 6500. So how do I tell what reel I have

Hi big poppa --

There are a few very good ABU experts on this Board.

And at this point, with the prolific number of models, variations, and the production output of ABU -- there are many possibilities, given your clues.

A few photos would really help to narrow it down -- all parts, plus 6 sides & the inside of the right and left sides.

Best,
