We have a, new to us, 1965 Shasta Airflyte and is like to restore the original handle. It looks like it is just missing the lock, probably a PO list the key. Anyone able to direct me to some further info on how to fix this? Thank you.

Hi,

See if this helps. vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/9529/bargman-lockset-lock-cylinder-replacement?page=1&scrollTo=93438

I believe NCcamper posted a thread on how he cleaned up and painted a Bargman Trail Lite. Here it is, but images are missing, but some basic directions are present. vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/11297/pitted-chrome-cheap-restore

A Google search turned up this technique. - oldtrailer.com/restore-vintage-trailer-license-plate-lamp.html I would think the restoration technique would be the same for the handle. Let's see what others have to say.

If you have more questions after reading this information, feel free to post in this thread.

Cheers,

Rod

Are you saying this is a Bargman L66? I couldn't quite tell based on photos I found online.

Go to vintage trailer supply and search under "Cylinder and Keys". They sell cylinders for these locks. Rod
