Claudia , i might be able to help you out on the abu reel front as i've recently upgraded one of my abu 506's with a mk1 abu 507 (same shape but bigger) i'm halfway through pimping my spare abu 506 (reconditioning/restoring it) i've put back the anti-reverse pawl and cleaned up the friction plates & gear's (its fitted with the faster gears just like the 506M) so the drag is now as good as new and i'm about to do a re-spray on the pain't and fit a new cowling or re-furbish it (pain't it) ready to sell on E-bay but i'm willing to give you first choice,and if your not bothered by a little scuffing to the paint work on the reels body & cowling you can have it for ?30 and if your prepared to backwind (much better for trotting) i can remove the anti-reverse pawl ( the handle is already aligned with the lowest point of travell of the spool,giving improved line release ) it is also fitted with the shallow match spool.
