waterbury tall clock "Click" to Login or Register

I have a waterbury clock with the ladder chain. It needs a new chain and have tried several sizes from Timesavers and they do not fit, both the 42 and 43 tooth ones. Does anyone have another source???? Thanks for any help, Bill Buss

Bill,

LaRose Keep Book #283 lists ladder chain supposedly for Waterbury on page 158. 8.7mm wide, 18ga. wire and 41 links per foot. Will this work?
Sort of pricey at $2.30 per foot.

Bill,

This is really late, but another source for ladder chain might be Player Piano Company
(http://www.playerpianocompany.com) page 24 of their catalog. It it used a lot to supply drive from the air motor to the piano roll.

Good luck!
