Guest alex_houston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I HAVE A COUPLE YEAR OLD CARD FROM JOHN'S ENTERPRISES ADVERTISING REBUILD OF TOP IRONS AND FOR TOP BOWS. 916-885-4956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_RAH Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi, Yes your card is a couple years out of date. John Boorinakis is in Auburn, Ca. and their area code changed from 916 to 503. He does rebuild top irons with new metal tubing using your old castings and hinge pieces. He also does a fine job of laminating top bows. I am told these are much more reliable in the long run as they will not tend to lean to one side or other when the steam bent wood tries to straighten with age.
