Early Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6000 question
I have a 6000 with a smooth foot and no foot number which places it at one of the first post "Record" reels, dating 1962-63. The reel has too much axial movement in the handle/drive shaft. On later reels this was always a missing c-clip problem and easily fixed. I have disassembled this reel and it does not appear it had the c-clip. I am looking for a parts schematic for this reel to try to determine what is missing on the drive assembly or advice on the potential problem. Thanks!

ORCA member Victor Koury sent this image and advises:
Prior to the C clip a screw held everything in place ABU part #5181.
