  Thanks for the Tutorial just got my 60s ambassadör 5000 in the mail today and i stripped it down and washed it all out regreased&lubed everything and the only difference in our reel that there was a black nylon washer below the white spacer up to the handle or bushing . Other than that pretty much the same reel ive got a single handle on mine just because om a clumbsy retriever . Their totalt worth that low $ for a reel in this condition i payed 31$ with shipping it would have been around 50-60$ if it were a 60s handle on it . Pike fishing in Emån tomorrow here in Sweden ! I actually been to the Svängsta factory back in 2003 i had an internship in Mörrum at the Fishfarmery down there . Tight lines and Thanks again for the Tutorial (cant find one in Swedish funny huh ? ) Regards Paul-Roger Nilsson South Sweden

  Thanks for the video! I have a 763 and it's a very nice reel. Also a question....have you ever worked on a Heddon Heritage 45 Mark III? I have one with the pouch, paperwork, etc. Near perfect cosmetically and works perfectly, so the risk vs reward isn't there for me to take it apart at the moment. Still, I'm curious what it looks like inside if there's a video out there somewhere. Thx!

  Love These Videos!! I just love all the vintage stuff!! John , thank you for making these videos, i collect vintage reels mysef. It's a shame soo many people think that a quality reel is the one with the most ball bearings, when its metallurgy first followed by the location of the bushings or bearings. I learned to appreciate good brass bushings when fishing saltwater.

  I just bought a similar reel and was wondering how you deal with not getting a birds nest.

• 
  @jonhammes6209Ай бұрын

  Start out with about a half a spool of line, 20lb test max. Install the centrifugal weights on the spool. Let the rod do the work, don't try to overcast it, just let it load up and swing it forward while thumbing the inside of the spool, not the line. Feather it until whatever your casting nears the water then put the brakes on it with your thumb! Practice, practice, practice

  Two things. Yes, that is the original handle that Diawa put on the reel. I have a GS-10X that I bought about 45ish years ago new and that is the same handle that came on mine. The other thing, if you ever run into another reel that has coagulated grease as bad as this one had or you ever take this one apart to clean and lube it in the furure, try using denatured alcohol. It is a mild solvent that will breakdown the grease. I use it with a soft bristle toothbrush and it gets the job done very well. It has never damaged paint or plastic and you can soak the bearings in it. I would not soak anything like the spool which has a sticker. It can breakdown the glue on the spool sticker, but the metal parts should be okay to soak in it.

  I prefer WD40 to clean anything that is painted or has stickers. So far, after 45 years of doing so for reels in my collection, I haven't had an issue with stickers, paint, or imprinted logos etc on the graphite bodies. Thank you for the info on the handle and for watching the video!
