CalebD will become famous soon enough
I had to replace the top of the drum on my Furlex 100 unit recently.
The 2 plastic halves cost about $40 from my Furlex dealer if memory serves me.
Your RF unit did not look that bad to me in the pictures but it is not so easy to tell from here.
Good luck with your repairs and elderly mother.

Thanks, Caleb. I actually have the two top halves: I think they are still intact they may fit back OK. The outer drum surrounds (the black forward part and chromed rear part) are broken (where they screw together the screw fastening through the chrome section chewed through the black forward surround) and will have to be replaced at minimum, and perhaps the inner drum liner (the black plastic circular collar).

I'll check w/ my rigger in Annapolis & maybe Furlex re that after I get together w/ the surveyor & adjustor.

Thanks,
Jon

Paul Langelier at West River Rigging is a good guy and is the person to talk to about Furlex parts and repair in the Annapolis area. It sounds like you already have worked with him so you know that.

Let me know if you need a delivery estimate for insurance - I'll be happy to shoot you a proposal. It's an easy run to West River, Annapolis, or Baltimore. I'm in Annapolis now but my old stomping grounds centered on the Occoquan.

Thanks. I have a call in to Paul and appreciate the info/offer if I need a delivery. I'll PM you.
