parasol repair?

Hi

We have one of those white parasols with the wind up handle. The cord has snapped and although we have been able to dismantle it, there seems to be no way to get into the actual mechanism to put a new cord in. Does anyone know if it's possible to repair these please, it's not very old and seems shame to bin it.

If not, next question is where cheapest place to buy replacement please?

Thanks

jax47, try the Yahoo opposite Supreme supermarket. He's pretty handy at fixing many garden furniture fittings, is reasonably priced, one-time and has good English, sorry I cannot remember his name. Good luck with it wherever you find.

Just had our parasol repaired at Aladdins Cave. The wire had snapped and a bit was missing in the centre of the parasol. They put an extra thick wire in and replaced the missing part too. It took 3 days and cost 55 TL.
Good service.

get off, if you take the old parasol cover off and take it to the fabric factory in Famagusta, it can be replaced in 10 days for 130 YTL.
