Broken reel foot

[Royce]

Generally there is no way to salvage such a thing without far more work than the reel is worth... I have tried relatively low-temp brazing and warped frames... I have tried machinging the foot away (assuming you are talking about a foot integral to the whole casting) and making a foot to replace it and found the metal did not want to hold threads properly... And I could go on and on.
.

Thanks for the input Hap. I assume you are correct. Probably not worth the effort.
