I got this air reel last year at carlisle for 20.00, had a broken corner on mounting bracket, made about 1930. Gave to friend to redo, but after a year he gave it back to me  and said he did not have time to do, Called bernie from BRENIES AUTO , Ask if he could fix corner and restore. That was three weeks ago. He just called me this afternoon and said it is done. Can not wait to see it, will post pictures when i get it from him in a week.

I guess that some people take on to much work and then they dont care that they have your item for a year, or maybe they are to lazy to do the work

Jeff,

That Air Reel looks awesome. I bet even if you were to show a close-up of the fixed corner you wouldn't even be able to tell. A great weld job and some excellent grinding/shaping skills.

When you get a chance, I'd love to see some pictures of your Popperette. We have a small group here of owners that would appreciate it.

He cut a peace of metal , welded to the old peace and then did his magic, he said you can never tell which corner it is
