hi there I have a shimano 6500b which is seen many days on the rocks and is getting pretty old and needs a service. 

I have dropped it a few times when taking it off my rod, damn butter fingers!! and have ended up breaking the graphite body (part# 7433) where the reel attaches onto reel seat on the rod, i have tried to piece this together with super glue and it was workable until i dropped it AGAIN aaaaaaaargg...

Also lost the bail arm screw collar (part# 5812) which i have replaced with DIY screw and some plastic washers....

i have used this website to identify the part #'s:  http://www.normark.es/wp/wp-content/uploads/02BTR6500B.pdf

I know the 6500B is the old BTR range and don't think they are made anymore, are parts for this reel still available? and how much is the going rate for a reel service? 

cheers

jim
