had a 7000. Gears collapsed first bit of stress. Got it replaced, went fishing ditto. got it replaced went fishing ditto - got so cheesed off I stuck me slosh on and used the ABU as a sinker and blasted it toward the horizon!
wouldn\'t fancy any abu reel after that

Thought for the day:
Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs
The Abu 7 uses bushes [ old technology] rather that bearings ,I\'ve had no bother with mine and got it on e bay for £50 from ID ,a lucky bid I think they\'d just got them in, anyway it\'s not got the spec or looks of my 7500.
Dont forget if you remove the level wind to remove the drive worm and the little cog that drives it, otherwise you defeat the object. Could you not use a 7500 ct cage? I seem to remember trying this once. I think it may work.
7500 ct is a nice reel if you get a good one. some seize up winding in small codling. the sideplates also corrode to nothing in just a couple of years. the handles also do the same. Ive put 7000 synchro sidplates on mine and had my m8 build me a stainless handle. Beautiful reel all the same.
