    Description

    Rare 64/65's first version vintage ABU Ambassadeur 5000B with no clicker and no "B" engraved on left cover.
    This answered the request of anglers,though,for a bigger capacity spool and a power handle with a big single handle-knob which required a ball shaped counterweight.That made the anglers happy for quite a while until someone demanded for a clicker in 1966 or later for additional audio excitement during long fish runs.
    Besides the power handle,not significant though,this particular model was also fitted with a cute handle nut stamped with the word 'oil' twice.
    No clicker nor the letter 'B' found on the reel's left cover as this is the earlier version of the model.Clicker was fitted later in 1966 and the designation of letter  'B' appeared only after 1970(referred Fred's classic reels information).
    Reel used,in excellent++ condition.Shows some rashes on top of its rims and front pillar(last pic).Neat leather case has a stained buckle(pic.5).Foot number 514007.Duplicate info booklet & parts list.
