Stapling old mags?

[sdlaughl]

Hi there- I thought this might be a good place to have my question answered.

I have some old Nintendo Power issues that I've had for years, and after several moves and at times not being stored in the most climate controlled environments, some of the issues are starting to fall apart.

Many of these issues are the older ones that have been stapled together. Are there any guides or specific tools out there for re-stapling old mags?

While we're at it, I have a couple "bound" issues falling apart as well. Any way to rehab those?

for glue mags those are probably a lost cause now so I would just get cheap binders and use Sheet Protectors for each page.

Thanks. 

I pulled out one of my NP issues and the cover has already fallen off but the staples remain in the magazine. The old staple "holes" look unusable. Could I add "new" staples above or below the existing holes? This might be a lost cause at this point?

I wouldn't know how you would put new holes on all pages at once. I think you would need some machine of sorts. I would just put them in binders at this point.
