This can be repaired as it's only box section steel

A good welder should be able to do it using MIG or TIG,definatly something I would do as these things are easy to strip down

Hi Palo

MIG and TIG are a form of electric welding that uses localised heat as apposed to gas welding that heats up everything

MIG is what most garages use know,look out for a DIY mechanic who may have a welder of his own and may take on the job

You are covered for this by E Bay.  Have you lodged a complaint?  If the thing a was not as described you should be entitled to your money back.  I did this once for a set of DVDs that turned out to be dodgey Chinese copies.  Money was back within a week & they took Police action on the seller.  he was thrown off E Bay.  However, as already said, A Dandy is a fairly simple beast to work on.  the frame is box section steel.  it can all be got at, so can be cut out & welded.  If the fabric is waterproof it may well be worth getting it welded up.
