Record and ABU  Manuals

The manuals are almost as varied as the reels themselves.

Most were provided with reels, but they varied in quality of detail over time.

The Pimple reels were not produced with manuals as they were so simple to maintain.

Some produced in recent decade did not have the pictorial detail and step by step servicing instructions.

All usually had a schematic diagram, absolutely essential before the internet times, now they can be freely and easily downloaded if lost. some people also sell CD with many schematics.

The number available preclude me showing all here.

My most recent ABU reel acquired to actually fish with (based on the good service given by the big brother size 60) is the deminutive  ABU Soron STX 20

A sample of various reel types. much older,  follow.
