My 15 minutes of fame, mentioned in a YouTube video!😂 Thanks Dennis, wow I feel a little sheepish, such an easy fix. I did find some schematics online but none of them were clear enough to tell that I had those parts on backwards. Sorry it wasn't more of a challenge, would've made for a better teaching video.😂
That is a 4500C3 not the 4600c3. The 6 hundred series reels have the thumb paddle to disengage the spool not the button on the side plate. Glad you solved the issue. Always enjoy the Abu reel breakdowns and repair. I see the 4600 on the name band. I wonder if that side came from another reel?
Dennis you remind me of the Farmers insurance commercial, " we know a thing or two, cause we've seen a thing or two" , nothing trumps experience, and for Randy that means he can now fish a beautiful ABU ! thanks for the vid!
Hey Dennis, I just wanted to let you know I worked up the intentestinal fortitude to service a vintage Penn International 50 thanks to one of your Videos. The reel was very intimidating due to it's size , but when you have a great instructional video to follow , it makes the process much easier! Thank you again for what you do for us!

I've bought a few Ambassadeurs cheap over the years, for the same issue. I love these reels!
Could you do a video on find Symantec, and where to find parts
