    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.

    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.

    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • 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.
    • 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
