Need help with Heddon 3-35 line guide

Post by Reelman2 »

How many of you have ever had the u-shaped wire on a Heddon 3-35 line guide come off. Is there a trick to re-attaching it other than super glue?
Collect mostly Ky style reels; Meek, Heddon, Horton, Pflueger Redifor and Worth, etc.

Never worked on one myself, but if I remember right from previous discussions they were originally soldered. I think JE worked on one them a decade or so ago. I would go the original route & re-solder it if it were mine.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
