I'm looking at a 940XL reel that has the chrome peeling off of the handle.
Are new handles available  anywhere?
Is this a common issue with this model?
Thanks

Thanks Alan.
That's the reel I'm thinking about buying.
Its a local person so I can save on freight.
I guess I could sand it and paint it black.

   One fix is to remove the chrome...it flakes off pretty easy...and polish the aluminum like I did in this post. 8)

I have 9 of these handles brand new. Just posted them on ebay yesterday.
