John,
I've got a spare 506* doing nothing, if you want to have a play with a closed face without the expenditure let me know.
I've also got another Abu closed face... it's just got a screw missing that holds on the side plate (this one has a dual pin pick up)
Pic attached of the 506 similar to the one I was using the other night.
*these reels RARELY if ever get line behind the spool when trotting
