OZM29C Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Did you ever wonder what the insides of a Cordomatic Spotlight retractable reel looks like. I got the opportunity after having the retracting spring snap, the very first time I went to use it. I purchased the reel many years ago and mounted in position a while back. On the weekend just gone I thought that I would try it out. Bad move, the spring snapped. Anyway after a number of attempts to repair the spring I came up with the idea of fitting a brass collar over the spring. Pictures tell the story. Seems to work OK. I think I will leave the Reel now as a show piece. Edited July 14, 2021 by OZM29C too many photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Tipton Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I love the way you always seem to hit these projects before I do. Mine needs to be painted white and I figured it would be easier to take it apart. I was wondering what I would get into! Thanks John! @OZM29C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
