Local abu repair
who in the Boston area can repair abu reels? Got a problem with my 6500cs and I don't want to travel far and wait too long.

Your local tackle shop normally contracts with someone to repair reels. For convenience, I'd try there first.

Best regards,

MikeCC (on this board) from M & D's is a board sponsor and when the shop is not off the hook can even do on the spot repairs. I junked a reel this weekend and Mike was kind enough to do the repair right there on the spot....top quality service from a nice real shop...

likwid, I put in smoothies and a new worm gear for the levelwind. when i tried it out, the spool would bind-up someplace inside the left side plate where the mags are. so i have taken it all apart a few times, but that "catch" point or whatever won't go away. i even took out the new worm gear and put back the old one since it appeared the new one wasn't an exact fit (which i doubt since i bought it from the hatteras guys at the msba show; i put something together wrong.).
i went down to my local pond to try it out, and when i took it apart again, there was white plastic shavings inside the left plate: some thing is not meshing correctly with the large white plastic gear inside the plate.

I would second Bucko's
Theyve done a nice job with my reels the last few years..
(not a knock on Mike and M+D's, Ive just never had any work done there, but I did buy my last setup there)

They are pretty simple reels, I'll look at it if you want.

Mike, the white washer looks good. I didn't strip it badly. I wonder if the smoothies change the distances between parts and the brass gear that turns the white gear is now too far away from it. I havn't had a chance to go to someone to fix it.

A Big Thank You to Mikecc for helping me out today. He checked out the reel and was able to do what had to be done.
