   I can only wish that I had a mangle iron. I hope someone here is able to help you.

   Investigating all this I have found some on Ebay if one might be lucky enough to be in their general vicinity

   as I understand they are rather heavy for shipping.

   All I have ever heard is positive comments regarding them.

   Gosh my mom had a mangle when we were kids, I sure wish I had one.Last year I was touring the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC, and there in the laundry room were several mangles. My husband had no idea what I was talking about when I pointed them out.

   Hi Rez!  I'm not sure if you've seen this website already but here it is:

   http://www.jitterbuzz.com/indirn.html#spark

   don't be put off by the bizarre photo that pops up - scroll down and if you keep going to about 2/3's of the way he offers an Ironrite manual for free.  Looks like you just need to e-mail him and ask for it - he has it in a PDF file and can e-mail it back to you.

   If this doesn't help - I've noticed that frequently vacuum stores will offer sewing machine service (why the two are frequently paired up is beyond me) but if you have a place that offers that, the repair person may be able to point you in the right direction for some help with Ironrite products.  Just a thought.

   Hope this helps.

   JT-

   Thanks much for linking to that site.

   and I'd never heard that there were glass irons made by Corning back then.:o)

   Good idea on the vacuum store.

   Thanks again

   I had never heard of the glass iron before either - if I find one at a garage sale or someplace I will buy it!  I also thought the 'health chair' that went with the mangle and the sales incentives were pretty interesting, too.  All in all, I really liked the website!

   Let us know if you are able to fix it, ok?

   Will do. I'll take a stab at it or find an experienced soul that would have a better chance at success.
