WidowMaker Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I found the info.... Here is the website for Simon Shimomura two books "The Ambassadeur And I" and "The Ambassadeur And I Final Chapter". The books are expensive but i have a buddy who has personally looked through them and he tells me they offer a complete breakdown on each reel model that was produced. The books are endorsed by the ex-owner of Abu-Garcia. http://www.mrambassadeur.com/eng/book.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasha51pan Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Am looking for info. I have a Abu Ambassadeur 5600C Reel. I know nothing about it (except it has been my favorite bait casting reel). Would like info, any info.... The reel is black with a red thumb bar. The left side plate has : ABU Ambassadeur Sweden 5600C Right side plate has a sticker that says "High Speed"..... The mounting bar has the # 780600 I have the box, wrench, oil tube, weights and a clear plastic cylinder that breaks in half (long ways) that says ABU Sweden. Anyone have an idea what it's worth ?

Your reel was made in '78' and the reel,if it's in good condition,with all the accessories and the box is probably worth about $150 or more on Ebay!
