What model is this?

Got the reel at a thrift store for 15 bucks. Works great. I started looking for a replacement handle (probably fine like it is.)

That led me down the rabbit hole of trying to figure out what model number it is. My google-fu is weak this week. Cant figure it out and now it has become a challenge.....

Anybody know?

I read that as 2 ball bearings and one roller bearing. Other than that, I don't know what it is other than it looks like a nice reel.

I love the garage sale finds.

I love them too. So far my catfishing reels include two ambassadeur 7000s and a early 5000. The 7000s just needed cleaning but the 5000 i paid 30 bucks for parts and cleaning with the local reel guy.

I have a little over 100$ in the 4 of them total.
