• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Slowly dropping from 14v to just barely 12. Age unknown.
I happen to have a spare (condition unknown) in a box of stuff that came with the aircraft. So, I could conceivably have one out for service and keep flying.
Can these things be rebuilt/repaired, or do I just need to invest in a new one?
Repair shop in Minneapolis?
Thanks,
Forrest
