Thanks everyone for all the responses. I did find someone to weld one of the reels as shown in the picture attached. I also found a Youtube Video on a reel repair with a TIG welder and Aluminum Rod as seen on. Very interesting.. I knew it could be done but just have to determine if it is economically feasible to have it done. Finding a junk reel with a good side panel would still be the way to go. If there is anyone on this forum that might want to offer this service I think there might be a demand. Stay Healthy. Roger
