I've got a red 6000, a red 5000 and two black 5000c's. My dad bought them in the early 70's for he and I. They won't be sold in my lifetime bc they're priceless.

Decor for the house. I cleaned all of mine, and gave them to people who live bait fished. Back in the day I was glad to have one, having to fish with one now would be torture.

Call Shane at SW Parts in Dallas. He can tell you. Most likely they are not worth a lot tho. The older Ambassaduers had the spool tension adjustment on the palming side too. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-19947-178357-screen_shot_2023_04_03_at_7.34.15_am.png) I have this exact reel. It was my grandads.

I have several of those but all are pretty high serial numbers but still made in Sweden. Look on the reel seat and plug the serial number into the ABU site or just Google. Lot of good info kicks back.

Mine all have the made in Sweden badges but not the brake on the other side! Those are cool as hell! My grandson will figure out what to do with these reels when he gets older
