Abu 5000 baitcaster Reel

Can anyone give me some info on this reel I bought on EBay. It is an
(Ambassadeur One 5000) (The original)
plain bushed spool bearings.
I bought it on E-bay and I am curios as I can find no reference to it.
I have not taken the liberty of downloading JPG files to the newsgroup. I
have however added the link to two pictures I have taken of it.

I haven't seen this one before, may be an import. Reference bearings, you can
probably get a pair to fit. Cheers, Norman.

Try reelvalue, they have a website and are pretty good.

Wonder of the Internet. I e-mailed a few sites around the world, with my
picture link, including Abu themselves I got some helpfull advice from their
customer service. printed below. Seems you were right about the Import.
There are a lot of these on E-bay without boxes, described as new (true)
ex-display (iffy).
seems they must have come from old combos split up. However it looks like
they are genuine Abu reels.

After looking into this...i have found out that this reel is from a Walmart
Combo One 5000 Baitcast Combo. This reel was made in 2002, according to the
foot number you provided.
