In November 1952, ABU advertized in the Magazine Sportfiskaren, an announcement that you could buy an ABUrfabriken Record 5000 for Christmas in 1952 .
The Magazine pictures below are from December 1952
This was the Swedish
magazine as ABU used for publishing news about its reels.
facts for Record 5000. I
think it´s the most discussed reel in the family of Record manufactured
by A,B.Urfabriken.

2. Now Göte Borgström decided red was the colour for the Record
5000.
No
3. The SG is
gone.1952-1953 The
green model has no
SG mark either.
The difference between the
no 1 and no 3 is the brake plate is produced in aluminium for no 1.
And no 3 has a grey colour.
